Interaction with other medicines:
At reception for a long time paracetamol strengthens effect of indirect anticoagulants (warfarin and other derivatives of coumarin) that increases risk of bleedings. Inductors of enzymes of a microsomal oxidation in a liver (barbiturates, dipheninum, carbamazepine, rifampicin, a zidovudine, Phenytoinum, ethanol, phenylbutazone and tricyclic antidepressants) increase risk of a hepatotoxic action at overdose by paracetamol. Inhibitors of a microsomal oxidation in a liver (Cimetidinum) reduce risk of a hepatotoxic action. Metoclopramidum and домперидон is increased, and Colestyraminum reduces paracetamol absorption speed. Ethanol promotes development of acute pancreatitis. Drug can reduce activity of uricosuric drugs. Antidepressants, protivoparkinsonichesky and antipsychotic means and derivatives of a fenotiazin increase risk of an ischuria, dryness in a mouth, a lock. Glucocorticosteroids increase risk of development of glaucoma. The halothane increases risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Fenilefrin reduces hypotensive effect of a guanetidin. Guanetidin and tricyclic antidepressants strengthen sympathomimetic effects of Phenylephrinum.

In 12–48 hours signs of an abnormal liver function are defined (increase in activity of "hepatic" transaminases, increase in a prothrombin time, гепатонекроз). Disturbance of exchange of glucose and emergence of a metabolic acidosis is possible. In hard cases are possible: a liver failure with the progressing encephalopathy, a coma and death; an acute renal failure with a tubular necrosis ( including in the absence of severe damage of a liver); arrhythmias, pancreatitis. The hepatotoxic effect at adults is shown at reception of 10 g and more paracetamol.
