Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not use if you are allergic to paracetamol, caffeine or any of the ingredients, if you are taking any other paracetamol-containing medicine, if you are under 12 years of age, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (because of the caffeine).

Warnings & precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use if you have liver or kidney problems, asthma that is sensitive to aspirin, Gilbert's syndrome, are dehydrated or malnourished, or weigh under 50kg. Each tablet contains 427mg sodium - take this into account if you are on a low-salt diet. Avoid other sources of caffeine such as tea, coffee and energy drinks while taking it. Tell your doctor if you take flucloxacillin, as combining it with paracetamol carries a risk of a serious blood and fluid problem (metabolic acidosis).

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because of the caffeine content. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Possible side effects

Side effects are uncommon. Too much caffeine can cause difficulty sleeping, restlessness or a faster heartbeat. Stop use and seek urgent advice if you notice an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of the face or mouth, breathing difficulty), skin peeling or mouth ulcers, or unexplained bruising or bleeding.

Always read the label

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Each soluble tablet contains paracetamol 500mg and caffeine 65mg. Also contains 427mg sodium per tablet and sorbitol (E420), a source of fructose.
