Precautions

This medicine may put stress on the liver, so those who frequently consume more than three drinks per day should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking it. The acetaminophen component in this medicine can rarely cause serious skin reactions, so if any rashes or allergic symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. The maximum daily dosage of acetaminophen must not exceed 4,000 mg, and this medicine should not be taken simultaneously with other medications containing acetaminophen. Those who are allergic to this medicine or its ingredients, have a history of asthma, infants under three months of age, and those currently taking or recently stopped taking certain antidepressants or psychiatric medications should not use this medicine. It is advisable not to take other medications including cough medicine, cold medicine, analgesics, sedatives, or antihistamines during treatment. Children under 15 years who have had or are suspected of having chickenpox or influenza, individuals with allergic tendencies, those with issues in major organs such as the liver, kidneys, or heart, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult medical personnel before using this medicine. Children under 2 years should only take this medicine under medical supervision, and if any adverse symptoms such as rash, vomiting, or dizziness occur after taking it, they should immediately stop taking it and consult a professional. Follow the prescribed dosage and instructions closely, avoid long-term use, and ensure supervision by a guardian when children are taking it. Alcohol should be avoided, and caution is needed as the metabolism of acetaminophen may slow when taken with certain medications.
