Paracetamol And Its Harmful Side Effects by nnadychuks(m): 9:04am On Oct 02, 2014
Side effects from paracetamol are rare.
However, side effects can include:
1)A rash or swelling – this could be a
sign of an allergic reaction
2)Hypotension (low blood pressure)
when given in hospital by infusion
(a continuous drip of medicine into
a vein in your arm)
3)Liver and kidney damage, when
taken at higher-than-recommended
doses (overdose)
In extreme cases the liver damage that can
result from a paracetamol overdose can be
FATAL...
DOSAGE:
Make sure you take paracetamol as directed
on the label or as instructed by a health
professional. Unless instructed otherwise,
do not take more than four doses of
paracetamol within 24 hours.
If you think you have taken too much
paracetamol, go to your nearest accident
and emergency department.
Paracetamol can also be associated with
blood disorders, such as thrombocytopenia
(low platelet count) and leukopenia (low
number of white blood cells), but this is
extremely rare.
Driving ability
Paracetamol, taken at recommended doses,
is not known to interfere with your ability
to drive.
