Mode of action

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient has a pain-relieving and fever-reducing effect. It also has low anti-inflammatory properties. It blocks the formation of certain messenger substances in the body, so-called prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever and inflammation.

Composition

based on 1 tablet
500 mg paracetamol
+ Cornstarch
+ Povidone
+ Stearic acid

Contraindications

What speaks against an application?

Always:
- Hypersensitivity to the ingredients

Under certain circumstances - talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this:
- Impaired liver function (e.g. due to chronic alcohol abuse or liver inflammation)
- Impaired kidney function
- Gilbert's syndrome (Meulengracht disease)
- Alcohol abuse
- Hereditary enzyme disorder (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency)
- Anemia due to faster breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia)
- Glutathione deficiency
- Lack of fluids
- Malnutrition

Which age group should be taken into account?
- Children under 4 years: The medicine should generally not be used in this group. There are preparations that are more suitable in terms of active ingredient strength and/or dosage form.

What about pregnancy and lactation?
- Pregnancy: Consult your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the medicine can be used during pregnancy.
- Breast-feeding: According to current knowledge, there is no evidence that the medicine should not be used during breast-feeding.

If you have been prescribed this medicine despite a contraindication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit may be greater than the risk associated with use if there is a contraindication.

Side effects

What adverse effects may occur?

Only side effects that have so far only occurred in exceptional cases are described for the drug.

If you notice any discomfort or change during treatment, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

The information provided here primarily takes into account side effects that occur in at least one in 1,000 treated patients.

Hints

What should you pay attention to?
- If you have pain or fever, do not use it for longer than stated in the package leaflet without medical advice!
- With long-term use of painkillers, headaches can occur that are caused by the painkiller. Talk to your doctor to prevent your headaches from becoming chronic.
- Habitual use of painkillers can cause permanent kidney damage. If several painkillers are combined, or if one painkiller contains several active ingredients, the risk of this increases.
- Attention: If you drink alcohol regularly or at high levels, life-threatening conditions can arise due to existing liver damage if the medicine is also used.
- Be careful if you are allergic to painkillers!
- There may be medicines that interact with. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment with a new medicine that you are already using. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, only use occasionally or that were used some time ago.

Patient information

Pregnancy

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, you should only take medication after consulting your doctor or pharmacist!

- Paracetamol passes into the child's blood.
- Studies on numerous mother-child pairs have shown no evidence of possible undesirable side effects on the pregnancy or the health of the fetus/newborn. Nevertheless, paracetamol should only be used during pregnancy after careful consideration of the benefit-risk ratio.
- Paracetamol should not be taken for a long time, in high doses or in combination with other medicines, as the safety of its use in these cases has not been proven.
- Paracetamol passes into breast milk. Since adverse consequences for the infant have not yet been reported, it is generally not necessary to interrupt breastfeeding during treatment.

Hints

For information about risks and side effects, read the package leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you have pain or fever, do not use it for longer than stated in the package leaflet without medical advice!
