Storage instructions:
Store in an airtight container, protected from light at or below 25 degrees C.

Warnings:
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use continuously for more than 10 days without consulting a doctor. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity (allergy) to paracetamol or to aspirin. Should not be administered to patients with gout; haemophilia (inherited bleeding disorder) or other haemorrhagic disorders severs renal or hepatic impairment; patients prone to dyspepsia (heartburn) or known to have a lesion of the gastric mucosa, or patients taking anticoagulants (substance to stop blood from clotting). Warnings and special precautions: Do not exceed the recommended dosage. In event of over-dosage and notwithstanding the fact that the person may be asymptomatic, the nearest doctor, hospital or Poison Control Centre must be contacted immediately. Dosages in excess of those recommended may cause severe liver damage. Paracetamol should be given with care to patients with impaired kidney and liver function and patients with alcohol dependence. Patients suffering from liver or kidney disease should take paracetamol under medical supervision. Do not use continuously for more than 10 days without consulting a doctor. Aspirin has been implicated in reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness, in children and teenagers with chickenpox and influenza. A doctor should be consulted before aspirin is used in such patients. Aspirin: it should be administered with caution to patients with renal and hepatic malfunction; dyspepsia (heartburn) or known to have a lesion of the gastric mucosa; asthma or allergic disorders; anaemia; patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; diabetics; when the patient is dehydrated and in the presence of uncontrolled high blood pressure. Prolonged use of high doses may lead to gastrointestinal haemorrhage, peptic ulceration (stomach and duodenal ulcers) and renal papillary necrosis. Aspirin should be discontinued several days before scheduled surgical procedures. Caffeine: with prolonged use some degree of tolerance and psychological dependence may occur. This product must be taken with care by persons with a history of peptic ulceration (stomach and duodenal ulcers). Interactions: Aspirin: aspirin may enhance the activity of coumarin anticoagulants and sulphonylurea hypoglycaemic drugs, methotrexate, phenytoin, and valproic acid. Aspirin diminishes the effects of antigout preparations such as probenecid and sulphinpyrazone. Barbiturates and other sedatives may mask the symptoms of aspirin overdosage and have been reported to enhance its toxicity. Paracetamol: The risk of paracetamol toxicity may be increased in patients receiving other potentially hepatotoxic drugs or drugs that induce liver microsomal enzymes such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbitone and rifampicin. The absorption of paracetamol may be accelerated by metoclopramide. Cholestyramine reduces the absorption of paracetamol if given within one hour of paracetamol administration. Excretion may be affected when administered with probenecid. Pregnancy and lactation: Pregnancy. Not to be taken during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless ordered by your doctor. Lactation: Use during lactation (breast-feeding) is not recommended. Side effects: Aspirin: gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, dyspepsia (heartburn) and vomiting; may cause dizziness or irritation of the gastric mucosa with erosion, ulceration, haematemesis (vomiting of blood), and melaena (blood in stools). Some persons, especially those with asthma, exhibit notable sensitivity to aspirin which may provoke various hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions which may include skin eruptions, paroxysmal bronchospasm (episodic wheezing due to narrowing of the air pipes), dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing) and shock. Aspirin increases bleeding time. Less frequent: reye's syndrome in children, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anaemia. Paracetamol: skin rashes and other allergic reactions may occur. The rash is usually erythematous (red skin rash) or urticarial (allergic skin rash), but sometimes more serious and may be accompanied by fever and mucosal lesions. Haematological reactions, including thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, pancytopenia, neutropenia and agranulocytosis have been reported. Caffeine: nausea, vomiting, increase in gastric acid secretion, headache, insomnia (inability to sleep), anxiety, restlessness, tachycardia (increased rate of heartbeat) and quickened respiration. Known symptoms of overdosage and particulars of its treatment: Aspirin: these include dizziness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), deafness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, mental confusion, hyperventilation, fever, restlessness, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, ketosis and depression of the central nervous system which may lead to coma. Paracetamol: symptoms of paracetamol overdosage in the first 24 hours are pallor, nausea, vomiting, anorexia (lack of appetite) and abdominal pain. Liver damage may become apparent 12 to 48 hours after ingestion. Acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis may develop even in the absence of severe liver damage. Cardiac abnormalities and pancreatitis have been reported. Symptoms during the first 2 days of acute poisoning do not reflect the potential seriousness of the overdosage. Nausea, vomiting, anorexia (lack of appetite) and abdominal pain may persist for a week or more. Clinical indications of hepatic damage become manifest within 2 to 4 days, by elevation of plasma aminotransferases; increased serum bilirubin concentration and prolongation of prothrombin time. The liver damage may progress to encephalopathy, coma and death. Complications of hepatic failure include acidosis, cerebral oedema, haemorrhage, hypoglycaemia, hypotension, infection, renal failure. In the event of overdosage consult a doctor or take the patient to the nearest hospital immediately. Specialised treatment is essential as soon as possible. Gastric lavage should be performed in all cases, preferably within 4 hours of the ingestion. Antidote therapy with acetylcysteine or methionine should be started as soon as possible after suspected paracetamol ingestion. N-acetylcysteine: n-acetylcysteine (antidote of choice) is most effective when administered intravenously during the first 8 hours following ingestion of the overdose. Intravenous infusion: an initial dose of 150mg/kg in 200ml glucose injection, given intravenously over 15 minutes, followed by an intravenous infusion of 50mg/kg in 500ml of glucose injection over the next 4 hours and then 100mg/kg in 1000 ml over the next 16 hours. The volume of intravenous fluids should be modified for children. Oral administration: 140mg/kg as a 5% solution initially, followed by a 70 mg/kg solution every 4 hours for 17 doses. Caffeine: insomnia, restlessness, excitement are the early signs, which may progress to mild delirium, emesis (vomiting) and convulsions. Muscle tremor, tachycardia (increased rate of heartbeat) and extra systoles (abnormal heartbeat) are frequent, and respiration is quickened. Keep out of reach of children.
