Warnings Tachipirina Painkiller 500 mg 20 Tablets

In rare cases of allergic reactions, the administration should be discontinued and appropriate treatment instituted. Use with caution in case of chronic alcoholism, excessive alcohol intake (3 or more alcoholic drinks per day), anorexia, bulimia or cachexia, chronic malnutrition (low hepatic glutathione stores), dehydration, hypovolemia. Paracetamol should be administered with caution to patients with mild to moderate hepatocellular insufficiency (including Gilbert's syndrome), severe hepatic insufficiency (Child-Pugh>9), acute hepatitis, concomitant treatment with drugs affecting liver function, of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, haemolytic anemia. High or prolonged doses of the product can cause even serious alterations to the kidney and blood, therefore administration to subjects with renal insufficiency should only be carried out if actually necessary and under direct medical supervision. In case of prolonged use it is advisable to monitor the hepatic and renal function and the blood count.

Invite the patient to contact the doctor before associating any other drug.

Interactions with other drugs Tachipirina 500 mg
Oral absorption of paracetamol depends on the rate of gastric emptying. Therefore, concomitant administration of drugs that slow down (e.g. anticholinergics, opioids) or increase (e.g. prokinetics) the rate of gastric emptying may result in a decrease or increase in the bioavailability of the product, respectively. Concomitant administration of cholestyramine reduces the absorption of paracetamol. The simultaneous intake of paracetamol and chloramphenicol can lead to an increase in the half-life of chloramphenicol, with the risk of increasing its toxicity. Concomitant use of paracetamol (4 g per day for at least 4 days) with oral anticoagulants may lead to slight variations in INR values. In these cases, more frequent monitoring of INR values ​​should be conducted during concomitant use and after its discontinuation. Use with extreme caution and under strict supervision during chronic treatment with drugs that can cause hepatic monooxygenase induction or in case of exposure to substances that can have this effect (e.g. rifampicin, cimetidine, antiepileptics such as glutethimide, phenobarbital, carbamazepine) . The same is true in cases of alcoholism and in patients treated with zidovudine. The administration of paracetamol can interfere with the determination of uric acid (by means of the phosphotungstic acid method) and with that of glycemia (by means of the glucose-oxidase-peroxidase method).

Tachypirine overdose 500 mg
There is a risk of intoxication, especially in patients with liver disease, in cases of chronic alcoholism, in patients with chronic malnutrition, and in patients receiving enzyme inducers. In these cases the overdose can be fatal. Symptoms In case of accidental assumption of very high doses of paracetamol, acute intoxication manifests itself with anorexia, nausea and vomiting followed by profound deterioration of the general conditions; these symptoms usually appear within the first 24 hours. In case of overdose, paracetamol can cause hepatic cytolysis which can evolve towards massive and irreversible necrosis, with consequent hepatocellular insufficiency, metabolic acidosis and encephalopathy, which can lead to coma and death. Simultaneously, an increase in the levels of hepatic transaminases, lactate dehydrogenase, and bilirubinemia, and a reduction in the levels of prothrombin are observed, which can occur in the 12-48 hours following ingestion. Treatment The measures to be taken consist of early gastric emptying and hospitalization for the necessary treatment, by administering, as early as possible, N-acetylcysteine ​​as an antidote: the dosage is 150 mg/kg iv in glucose solution in 15 minutes , then 50 mg/kg over the next 4 hours and 100 mg/kg over the next 16 hours, for a total of 300 mg/kg over 20 hours.
