Warnings & Precautions

Paralink suppositories should be administered with caution to patients with known liver or renal impairment.  

The hazard of overdose is greater in those with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver disease.  

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not take any other paracetamol-containing products. If symptoms persist consult your doctor. Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Prolonged use except on doctor's advice can be harmful. Maximum duration of continued use without medical advice: 3 days. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of overdosage, because of the risk of irreversible liver damage.

This product should be used only when clearly necessary. Caution is advised if paracetamol is administered concomitantly with flucloxacillin due to increased risk of high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA), particularly in patients with severe renal impairment, sepsis, malnutrition and other sources of glutathione deficiency (e.g., chronic alcoholism), as well as those using maximum daily doses of paracetamol. Close monitoring, including measurement of urinary 5-oxoproline, is recommended.
