CONTRAINDICATIONS

The paracetamol and pamabrom combination products are contraindicated in patients with a previous history of hypersensitivity to paracetamol, pamabrom or excipients. Due to the diuretic action of pamabrom, the product should not be used if the patient has anuria.

DIRECTION FOR USE

Menstrual women aged 12 years and above:

• • 1-2 tablets, every 4-6 hours as required. Maximum 8 tablets per day.

OVERDOSAGE

Symptoms:

Toxic symptoms include vomiting, abdominal pain and hypotension and sweating. The most serious adverse effect of acute overdose of paracetamol is a dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatotoxicity may be delayed for up to one week. Major manifestations of liver failure such as jaundice, hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis may take at least 3 days to develop. The effect of pamabrom overdose is unknown. Symptoms of diuretic overdose may include dehydration, hypotension and reduced electrolytes.

Treatment:

In case of overdose, methods of reducing the absorption of ingested drug are important. Gastric lavage is essential even if several hours have elapsed. Prompt administration of 50g activated charcoal and 500ml iced mannitol 20% by mouth, may reduce absorption.
