Product Details

Do not take Panadol Pain and Fever:
• if you have ever had an allergic reaction to paracetamol or to any of the
other ingredients (listed in Section 6)
• if you are taking any other prescription or non-prescription medicines
containing paracetamol to treat pain, fever, symptoms of cold and flu, or to
aid sleep.

Ask your doctor before you take this medicine:
• if you suffer from mild arthritis and need to take painkillers every day.
• if you have liver or kidney problems
• if you are underweight or malnourished
• if you regularly drink alcohol
• if you have a severe infection as this may increase the risk of metabolic
acidosis.
Signs of metabolic acidosis include:
– deep, rapid, difficult breathing
– feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting)
– loss of appetite
Contact a doctor immediately if you get a combination of these symptoms.
You may need to avoid using this product altogether or limit the amount of
paracetamol that you take.

If you are taking other medicines

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these tablets if you are taking
any prescribed medicines; particularly metoclopramide or domperidone
(for nausea [feeling sick] or vomiting [being sick]) or colestyramine
(to lower blood cholesterol). If you take blood thinning drugs
(anticoagulants e.g. warfarin) and you need to take a pain reliever on a daily
basis, talk to your doctor because of the risk of bleeding. But you can still
take occasional doses of Panadol Advance 500 mg Tablets at the same time
as anticoagulants
