Safety warning

TAKE SPECIAL CARE

• Contains paracetamol. Do not take with any other paracetamol-containing products.

Ask your doctor before you take this medicine:

• if you have liver or kidney disease, including alcoholic liver disease
• if you have mild arthritis and need to take painkillers every day.

Do not exceed the stated dose.

Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.

If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Taking other medicines

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Panadol Advance if you are taking any prescribed medicines, particularly:

• Metoclopramide or Domperidone (for nausea or vomiting)
• Colestyramine to lower blood cholesterol).

If you are taking blood-thinning drugs (anticoagulants such as warfarin) and you need to take a painkiller on a daily basis, talk to your doctor. This is because of the risk of bleeding. You can still take occasional doses of Panadol Extra Soluble Tablets at the same time as anticoagulants.
