Dizziness, sleep disturbance, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, heaviness and discomfort in the stomach, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, allergic reactions.

In the event of adverse reactions, be sure to consult with your doctor about the further intake of the drug.

Interaction

Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.

The simultaneous use of paracetamol in high doses increases the effect of anticoagulants (reduced synthesis of procoagulant factors in the liver).

Inductors of liver microsomal enzymes, ethanol and hepatotoxic drugs increase the production of hydroxylated paracetamol metabolites, which makes it possible for severe intoxications to develop even with a small overdose.

Prolonged use of barbiturates reduces the effectiveness of paracetamol.

With simultaneous use with ethanol increases the risk of developing acute pancreatitis.

Myelotoxic agents increase the hematotoxicity of paracetamol.

Caffeine is an adenosine antagonist (large doses of adenosine may be required). With the simultaneous use of caffeine and inducers of microsomal liver enzymes, it is possible to increase metabolism and increase caffeine clearance; inhibitors of microsomal liver enzymes - a decrease in the metabolism of caffeine in the liver.
Meksiletin reduces the excretion of caffeine to 50%; Nicotine increases the rate of caffeine excretion.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, furazolidone, procarbazine and selegiline - large doses of caffeine can cause the development of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias or pronounced. increase blood pressure.

Caffeine reduces the absorption of Calcium from the gastrointestinal tract; reduces the effect of drugs and hypnotics; increases the excretion of lithium in urine; accelerates absorption and enhances the action of cardiac glycosides, increases their toxicity.

Simultaneous use of caffeine with β-blockers may; lead to mutual suppression of therapeutic effects; with β-adrenomimetics - to additional stimulation of the CNS and other additive: toxic effects.

Caffeine can reduce the clearance of theophylline and, possibly, other xanthines, increasing the possibility of additive pharmacodynamic and toxic effects.

Propifenazone can enhance the action of oral drugs: hypoglycemic agents, sulfa drugs, anticoagulants, the ulcerogenic effect of glucocorticosteroids, reduces the effectiveness of potassium-sparing diuretics.

The absorption of the components of the drug may be reduced when used simultaneously with Kolestiramine, m-holinoblokatorami, antidepressants.

How to take, the course of administration and dosage

Inside, after eating, with a small amount of liquid. Adults take 1-2 pills 1-4 times a day. The daily dose should not exceed 6 tablets. Children from 12 to 18 years old on a pill up to three times a day.

Overdose

For paracetamol

Symptoms: during the first 24 hours after administration - pallor of the skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain; metabolic disorders, metabolic acidosis. Symptoms of abnormalities, liver function may appear 12-48 hours after an overdose. In severe overdose - liver failure with progressive encephalopathy, coma, death (10 g per paracetamol or 50 pills of the drug); acute renal failure with tubular necrosis (including in the absence of severe damage to the liver); arrhythmia, pancreatitis.

Treatment: the introduction of SH-group donators and precursors of glutathione synthesis — within 8–9 hours after overdose and acetylcysteine ​​— within 8 hours.The need for additional therapeutic measures (further administration of methionine, intravenous administration) is determined depending on the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, as well as on the time that has passed since taking it.

For caffeine

Symptoms: gastralgia, agitation, anxiety, motor restlessness, confusion, delirium, dehydration, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hyperthermia, frequent urination, headache, increased tactile or pain sensitivity, tremor, or muscle twitches; nausea and vomiting, sometimes with blood; tinnitus,
convulsions (in acute overdose - tonic-clone).

Caffeine in doses of more than 300 mg / day (including against the background of the abuse of coffee - more than 4 cups of natural coffee of 150 ml) can cause anxiety, tremor, headache, confusion, extrasystole.

Treatment: gastric lavage, if caffeine was taken in the last 4 hours at a dose of more than 15 mg / kg and there was no vomiting caused by caffeine; taking Activated carbon, laxatives; in hemorrhagic gastritis - the introduction of antacids, gastric lavage with an ice-cold 0.9% solution; maintaining lung ventilation and oxygenation; for convulsions, intravenous diazepam, phenobarbital or phenytoin; maintaining fluid and salt balance.

Use during pregnancy

Use during pregnancy and lactation is contraindicated.
