Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Paracetamol is one of the safest and most commonly recommended painkillers when taken correctly. However, it is essential not to exceed the recommended dose, as overdose can cause severe liver damage, even if you feel well initially.

Always check the labels of cold and flu medicines before taking them, as many already contain paracetamol. Taking two paracetamol-containing products together can result in accidental overdose.

If your pain or fever persists for more than a few days, or if symptoms worsen, seek advice from your GP or pharmacist.

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to paracetamol or any of the ingredients.
• You are taking another medicine containing paracetamol.
• Children under 10 years of age should not use these tablets unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Consult your GP or pharmacist before use if you:

• Have liver disease.

Paralief contains paracetamol 500mg and is used for the relief of mild to moderate pain and fever. It can be used for headaches, migraine, toothache, muscular aches, period pain, osteoarthritis pain, backache, neuralgia and the aches, pains and fever associated with colds and flu. It should always be taken according to the package instructions.

2. How does paracetamol work?

Paracetamol works by reducing pain signals within the central nervous system and lowering an elevated body temperature. Although its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is recognised as an effective analgesic and antipyretic and is widely recommended as a first-line treatment for many common painful conditions.

3. How quickly does Paralief start working?

Most people notice pain relief within 30 to 60 minutes after taking a dose. The duration of relief varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. If symptoms persist despite treatment, seek advice from your pharmacist or GP.

4. Can I take Paralief for cold and flu symptoms?

Yes. Paralief helps relieve the aches, pains and fever associated with colds and influenza. However, it does not treat the underlying viral infection. Rest, hydration and appropriate symptom management remain important.

5. Can I take Paralief with ibuprofen?

For many adults, paracetamol and ibuprofen may be taken together or alternated if appropriate. However, this may not be suitable for everyone, particularly people with stomach ulcers, kidney disease or certain medical conditions. Speak with your pharmacist if you are unsure.

6. Can I take Paralief with other cold and flu medicines?

Only if those products do not contain paracetamol. Many cold and flu medicines already include paracetamol, so always read the label carefully to avoid accidental overdose.

7. What happens if I take too much paracetamol?

Taking too much paracetamol is a medical emergency because it can cause serious liver damage. Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel completely well. Early treatment is essential for the best outcome.

These tablets are suitable for children aged 10 years and over when used according to the package instructions. Younger children require age-appropriate paracetamol formulations and doses.

Paracetamol is generally considered the preferred painkiller during pregnancy when needed, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Always speak with your GP, pharmacist or midwife before taking any medicine during pregnancy.

Occasional alcohol consumption is unlikely to cause problems for most healthy adults taking recommended doses of paracetamol. However, people who regularly drink large amounts of alcohol or have liver disease should consult a healthcare professional before use.
