Claradol Cafeine (Paracetamol, Caffeine)

Claradol Cafeine is indicated for the short‑term relief of several mild to moderate pain conditions and fever.

• Headache, including tension‑type and early migraine symptoms.
• Fever associated with viral or bacterial infections.
• Mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain such as backache or sprain.
• Toothache or dental pain following procedures.
• Menstrual discomfort and associated lower‑abdominal cramps.
• Common cold‑related aches and pains.
• Other occasional uses as advised by a pharmacist.

The safety profile of Claradol Cafeine reflects the known effects of paracetamol and caffeine, which are generally well tolerated when used as directed, but certain reactions may occur.

Common

• Nausea or mild stomach discomfort, which usually resolves without medical attention.
• Insomnia or difficulty sleeping, especially if taken later in the day.
• Restlessness or feeling jittery, related to caffeine’s stimulant effect.
• Slight increase in heart rate or palpitations, often transient.

Serious

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, which require prompt evaluation.
• Signs of liver injury (e.g., dark urine, jaundice, persistent fatigue) with excessive paracetamol intake.
• Severe skin reactions including Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, which are medical emergencies.

When considering Claradol Cafeine, several precautionary measures help ensure safe and effective use.

• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of paracetamol (typically 4 g per day).
• Avoid use in patients with known liver disease or impaired hepatic function.
• Limit caffeine intake from other sources to reduce the risk of overstimulation.
• Use caution in individuals with hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, or anxiety disorders.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Children should only use formulations specifically approved for their age and weight.

Claradol Cafeine may interact with other medicines, and awareness of these interactions can reduce adverse effects.

Avoid

• Alcohol or other hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., high‑dose ibuprofen) that increase liver load.
• Other caffeine‑containing products (energy drinks, certain analgesics) to avoid excess stimulant effect.

Use with caution

• Anticoagulants such as warfarin, as paracetamol may affect bleeding risk.
• Anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenytoin) that can alter paracetamol metabolism.
• Certain antidepressants, especially MAO inhibitors, which may increase caffeine‑related side effects.
• Diuretics or antihypertensive agents, because caffeine may counteract blood‑pressure control.
