The recommended initial dose is one tablet, with subsequent dosing intervals of at least 12 hours and not to exceed four tablets per day. Do not take this medication longer than necessary, and if long-term use is needed, regular monitoring should be done to determine the continuation of therapy. For the elderly, the usual adult dose can be given, but for those over 75, dosing intervals should be at least 12 hours apart.

This medication may cause liver damage, so those who regularly consume more than three glasses of alcohol daily should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Serious skin reactions such as rashes or blisters may occur after taking this medication, so if such symptoms appear, stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention. The ingredients in this medication can cause seizures, so caution is advised for individuals with a history of seizures or those at risk of them. Rarely, life-threatening allergic reactions may occur during the use of this medication; symptoms such as difficulty breathing, rash, or facial swelling require immediate medical attention. For patients with severe asthma, breathing may become more difficult when administering this medication, so it should only be given in a medically supervised setting. Taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system depressants can lead to severe drowsiness, respiratory depression, or coma, so it should be avoided or carefully monitored. Patients with head injury or increased intracranial pressure should use this medication cautiously as symptoms may worsen. This medication may lead to dependency similar to that of opioids, so the possibility of dependency should be carefully monitored during long-term use. Patients with compromised liver function should consult a doctor before taking this medication and be aware not to exceed a daily intake of 4,000 mg of acetaminophen. Patients with specific genotypes may metabolize this medication rapidly, increasing the risk of respiratory depression, thus requiring dose adjustments and symptom monitoring. This medication should not be used in children under 12 years old or in adolescents under 18 years old who have undergone tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. This medication may rarely lower sodium levels in the blood, requiring monitoring of symptoms in patients at risk of hyponatremia. Patients allergic to the ingredients of this medication or those in severe respiratory depression, central nervous system drug overdose, severe liver, kidney or heart function impairment, pregnant or nursing women, children under 12, and pediatric patients requiring postoperative care should not take this medication. The risk of side effects may increase when taken with other central nervous system depressants, therefore the dose should be adjusted and carefully monitored under a doctor's guidance. Drowsiness or dizziness may occur during driving or operating machinery; such activities should be approached with caution. Overdosage can lead to serious respiratory depression, liver damage, or seizures; adherence to prescribed doses is crucial, and immediate emergency treatment is required in case of an overdose. Dosing adjustments are necessary for patients with impaired liver and kidney function, and consideration of dependency risk during prolonged use should be addressed by adjusting the duration of treatment or including drug-free intervals.
