The maximum daily dosage of acetaminophen is 4,000 mg; taking this medication with other products containing acetaminophen may cause liver damage, so caution must be taken. Due to the presence of pseudoephedrine, if symptoms such as fever, rash, or small blisters occur, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor.

Children suspected of having chickenpox or influenza, those with allergic tendencies or a history of hypersensitivity to medications, patients with liver, kidney, or heart diseases, and elderly individuals should consult a specialist before taking. If after taking the medication symptoms such as rash, itching, nausea, dizziness, trembling, difficulty breathing, high fever, or severe skin symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Children under 2 years old should generally avoid this medication unless in special circumstances and should seek a doctor’s approval if necessary. When taking the medication, adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration, avoid long-term use, and it is advisable to refrain from alcohol consumption during treatment. Drowsiness may occur, so avoid driving or operating machinery, and be cautious as the breakdown of acetaminophen may slow when taken with specific medications.
