Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the production of the chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that transmit pain signals and induce fever.
- This medication may impair your thinking or alertness. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
- Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Dicyclomine can decrease your sweating, which can lead to heat stroke in a hot environment.
- Avoid taking alcohol as it can increase certain side effects of dicyclomine.
- Stop using dicyclomine and call your doctor right away if you have serious side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, unusual thoughts or behavior, fast or uneven heart rate, or if you urinate less than usual or not at all.
- Good for pain relief and fever but not effective in joint pain due to poor anti-inflammatory action.
- Starts working within one hour. Wait for at least 4 hours before taking the next dose.
- Present in many over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicines. Avoid taking more than one paracetamol product at a time to prevent overdose. Doses >4 g/day (2 g in alcoholics) may cause liver, kidney or heart problems.
- Discontinue Paracetamol and inform your doctor immediately if rash occurs.
- For children, measure the doses of liquid Paracetamol using the measuring cup instead of a teaspoon to avoid under or over-dosage.
- Avoid excess alcohol intake (>3 glasses/day) when taking Paracetamol as it may cause liver damage.
