Warnings

Take care: Check with a doctor or pharmacist before using the product if you suffer from kidney or liver disease (including alcoholic liver disease).
Patients should be advised to consult a doctor if they suffer from non-serious arthritis and need to take painkillers every day.
Using other medicines
Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist if you are taking some antibiotics if you are taking some antibiotics (chloramphenicol), anti-sickness treatments (metoclopramide, domperidone), some treatments for diarrhoea caused by gall bladder disease, or liquid lowering drugs (cholestyramine). Prolonged regular daily use of paracetamol may increase the effects of blood thinning drugs (e.g. Warfarin), with increased risks of bleeding. Occasional doses have no significant effect. Each sachet contains 4.2g of sucrose. If you have been told by the doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product. This should be taken into account in patients with diabetes mellitus. Each sachet contains 216mg of sodium diet. This should be taken into consideration by patients on a controlled sodium diet.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding : If necessary, Flu Strength Hot Lemon Powders can be used during pregnancy.
