Product Usage and Safety

Product usage and safety
A trusted brand of paracetamol, Paracetamol (Biogesic) is a medication that is typically used to relieve mild to
moderate pain such as headache, backache, menstrual cramps, muscular strain, minor arthritis pain, toothache, and
reduce fevers caused by illnesses such as the common cold and flu. Generally, Paracetamol (Biogesic) is safe to
take on an empty stomach.
According to the National Health Service in the UK, paracetamol is often recommended as one of the first
treatments of pain because it gives relief for most people, even for children, breastfeeding and/or pregnant women,
and the elderly. However, if you’re pregnant and breastfeeding, you should still seek consultation with your doctor
prior to taking the medication.
Dosage and Frequency
Make sure to take Paracetamol (Biogesic) as directed by your health professional or on the product leaflet or label
directions. The amount of dosage and frequency depends on your age, weight, and the strength or concentration of
the medicine. Adults and children 12 years and older usually take 1 to 2 500mg tablets orally every 4 to 6 hours. It is
not recommended to take more than 4g (8 500mg tablets) of Paracetamol in a span of 24 hours because this can
lead to overdose.
Children below 12 need to take a lower dose, while very young children usually take paracetamol in liquid form with
a measuring spoon, cup, or oral syringe. Paracetamol (Biogesic) for Kids oral drops contain 100mg paracetamol,
both with dosage according to 10mg/kg body weight every 4 hours, as needed. If your child has a temperature
higher than 38.5°C, paracetamol can be given to help ease the fever. Do not give regular paracetamol to an infant
younger than one month old unless advised to do so by a doctor.
Should the medicine not relieve your symptoms within an hour, it is also not recommended to take more than the
recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take the next dose if it’s still needed for pain and/or fever and the
subsequent 4 to 6 hours thereafter. Do not double the dose.
It is recommended to stop using the product and consult your doctor if the following happens: new symptoms occur,
symptoms do not get better, redness and swelling is present, fever gets worse and lasts more than 3 days, or pain
gets worse and lasts more than 10 days.
Precautions
It is best to check with your doctor for advice before taking Paracetamol (Biogesic) if you have anemia or heart,
lung, liver, or kidney problems, and are taking other medications such as combination products where paracetamol
is one of the ingredients. Paracetamol, when taken with other medications, can affect its efficacy and increase the
risk for side effects. Care should also be taken if an adult has three or more alcoholic drinks every day while using
this product.
It is advisable not to take paracetamol if you have had previous allergic reactions to it. Although rare, side effects
can include rash or swelling, flushing, minor stomach and intestinal disturbances, low blood pressure and a fast
heartbeat, blood disorders like thrombocytopenia (low platelet cell count) and leukopenia (low white blood cell
count), or liver and kidney damage cause by overdosage which can be fatal in severe cases.
Overdosage of paracetamol
It usually involves four phases with the following signs and symptoms:
 Eating disorder, nausea, vomiting, malaise, and excessive sweating;

 Right upper abdominal pain or tenderness, liver enlargement with may be characterized by abdominal
discomfort of “feeling full,” elevated bilirubin and liver enzyme concentrations, prolongation of prothrombin
time (how long it takes for blood to clot), and occasionally decreased urine output;
 Eating disorder, nausea, vomiting, and malaise recur and signs of liver (e.g., jaundice) and possibly kidney
failure;
 Recovery or progression to fatal complete liver failure.
When one has ingested too much paracetamol, it is recommended to consult a doctor or go to the nearest hospital
emergency room as soon as possible to seek urgent medical attention. Bring any remaining medicine and its box or
leaflet with you to show your attending health professional in order to determine the steps in preventing serious liver
damage.
