Paracetamol suppository Interactions

• When using the preparation with other drugs
  • Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking / using or have recently taken / used any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
  • Interactions are possible with:
    • Probenecid (medicine for gout)
    • possible liver-damaging substances, e.g. B. Phenobarbital (sleeping pills), phenytoin, carbamazepine (drugs against epilepsy) and rifampicin (drugs against tuberculosis). Under certain circumstances, if used at the same time, otherwise harmless doses of the drug can cause liver damage. The same applies to alcohol abuse.
    • Medicines for HIV infection (zidovudine): the tendency to reduce white blood cells (neutropenia) is increased. The preparation should therefore only be used at the same time as zidovudine on medical advice.
    • Anticoagulant medicines (oral anticoagulants, especially warfarin). Repeated use of paracetamol for more than a week increases the bleeding tendency. In this case, long-term use of paracetamol should only be carried out under medical supervision. Occasional use of paracetamol has no effect on the bleeding tendency.
  • Effects of using the drug on laboratory tests
    • The determination of uric acid and blood sugar can be influenced.

    • The medicine must not be used or administered together with alcohol.
