Precautions

This medication can put strain on the liver, so people who regularly consume more than three glasses of alcohol daily must consult a doctor or pharmacist. While taking this medication, severe skin reactions, such as serious rashes or blisters, may occur rarely, so if such symptoms arise, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a professional. Since this medication contains acetaminophen, exceeding the maximum daily dose of 4000mg can cause liver damage, thus caution is necessary, and it should not be taken together with other acetaminophen-containing medications. Individuals with hypersensitivity to this medication or its ingredients, those who have previously experienced asthma, and infants under 3 months should not take this medication. It is advisable to avoid taking this medication with other antipyretic analgesics, cold medications, or sedatives. Children suspected of having chickenpox or influenza, those with a history of allergies, or those who have previously experienced allergic reactions to medications must consult a professional before taking the medication. Individuals with liver, kidney, heart diseases, chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, elderly individuals, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also consult a professional before taking the medication. If abnormal symptoms such as rashes, itching, nausea, dizziness, or swelling occur during use, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a professional. Especially if symptoms such as urticaria, difficulty in breathing, severe rashes with blisters, or jaundice appear, contact healthcare professionals immediately. If symptoms do not improve after 5-6 doses, discontinue use and consult a professional. It is generally advised that children under 2 years old do not take this medication, and if absolutely necessary, they should seek medical advice. Strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration, avoid prolonged use, and abstain from alcohol during administration. Caution is necessary as the metabolism of acetaminophen may slow down when taken with specific medications. When taking this medication with certain antibiotics, rare severe metabolic acidosis may occur, so special caution is necessary when taking such medications together. Store the medication in a tightly closed container, away from children's reach, and protect it from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place. Additionally, it is best not to transfer the medication to another container to maintain quality.
