What are the side effects of Paracetamol?
The side effects of an over-the-counter (OTC) medication or supplement can be diverse, and may include mild, moderate, or severe reactions.
If you are taking Paracetamol for the first time, it is important to monitor any adverse or allergic reactions. Ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in Paracetamol before taking. If you experience an allergic reaction please discontinue use of Paracetamol and seek immediate medical attention.
For information on the specific side effects of Paracetamol read the information leaflet/label that comes with Paracetamol.
It is important to note that not everyone will experience side effects, and the severity or type of side effects may differ from person to person. Factors such as individual sensitivity, dosage, and interactions with other medications or supplements can influence the occurrence and intensity of side effects.
If you encounter any concerning side effects while taking Paracetamol, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional promptly. They can advise you on whether it is safe to continue using the product or recommend an alternative treatment.
Always consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional before starting any new OTC medication or supplement, particularly if you have pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
How does Paracetamol work?
The way an over-the-counter (OTC) medication or supplement works depends on the active ingredients it contains, as well as the intended purpose of the product. Generally, OTC medications and supplements are formulated to target specific symptoms, conditions, or to support overall health and well-being.
Laxido work to treat faecal impaction and other issues by providing relief from constipation with the recommended and usual dose.
It is important to drink plenty of water and keep up the regular liquid intake to maintain normal levels of sodium. Stop taking Laxido orange if a serious allergic reaction, severe stomach cramps, abdominal pain or severe diarrhoea occur. Read your patient information leaflet or speak to your doctor for further information. Do not take more than three or more sachets daily or as recommended.
Can Paracetamol be used by children and infants?
Read the information leaflet/label of Paracetamol to find out if it can be used by children/infants. Furthermore, it depends on various factors, including the child's age, weight, health conditions, and the specific product in question. It is essential to exercise caution when administering any medication or supplement to a child.
- Read the label: Carefully examine the label or enclosed leaflet of the Paracetamol for information on age restrictions, dosages, and any specific warnings or contraindications for children.
- Age-appropriate products: Some OTC medications and supplements are specifically formulated for children, with adjusted dosages and child-friendly forms, such as chewable tablets, liquid suspensions, or gummies. Opt for these products when available and follow the instructions provided for the child's age group.
- Consult a healthcare professional: If you are unsure whether Paracetamol is suitable for your child, it is always best to consult a pharmacist, doctor, or paediatrician for advice. They can provide guidance on the appropriateness, dosage, and potential side effects of the product for your child.
- Monitor for side effects: Children may be more susceptible to side effects or adverse reactions from medications or supplements. Closely observe your child for any signs of side effects or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
