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.
