Doloramol (Paracetamol)

Doloramol is indicated for the temporary relief of common pain and fever symptoms in adults and children when appropriate.

• Headache, including tension‑type and mild migraine, providing temporary comfort.
• Dental pain after extractions or procedures, as well as sore gums.
• Musculoskeletal aches such as back strain, joint stiffness, or minor sports injuries.
• Fever of any cause, helping to lower elevated body temperature.
• Minor cold or flu symptoms that include body aches and discomfort.
• Menstrual cramp discomfort, offering short‑term alleviation of uterine pain.

Like other paracetamol products, Doloramol may cause side effects, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common

• Mild nausea or stomach upset.
• Transient headache or dizziness.
• Skin reddening or mild rash.
• Elevated liver enzymes detected in routine blood tests (usually without symptoms).
• Feeling of warmth or flushing.
• Slight fatigue or drowsiness.
• Dry mouth.
• Mild insomnia.
• Temporary loss of appetite.

Serious

• Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, characterized by swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.
• Acute liver injury or failure, especially with overdose or pre‑existing liver disease.
• Blood disorders such as thrombocytopenia, though rare.
• Severe skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.
• Unexplained bruising or bleeding, indicating possible coagulation issues.

When using Doloramol, certain precautions help minimize risk and ensure safe use.

• Do not exceed the recommended total daily dose of paracetamol, typically 4 g for adults.
• Avoid use in individuals with severe liver impairment or active hepatitis.
• Use caution when taking other medications that contain paracetamol to prevent accidental overdose.
• Limit alcohol consumption while using Doloramol, as combined use can increase liver stress.
• Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in children under the recommended age.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if persistent fever or pain lasts more than a few days.

Doloramol can interact with other substances, affecting its efficacy or safety profile.

Avoid

• Concurrent use with other paracetamol‑containing products (e.g., combination cold remedies).
• Taking strong enzyme‑inducing anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine or phenytoin, which may lower paracetamol levels.
• Using high‑dose alcohol or chronic alcohol abuse, which raises risk of liver toxicity.

Use with caution

• Warfarin or other anticoagulants, as paracetamol may enhance anticoagulant effect.
• Certain antiviral drugs (e.g., ritonavir) that can affect paracetamol metabolism.
• Herbal supplements like St. John’s wort that induce hepatic enzymes.
