The frequency of these effects is very low and they include: malaise, low blood pressure, increased levels of transaminases in the blood, kidney disease, cloudy urine, allergic dermatitis, yellowing of the skin, blood disorders and hypoglycaemia.

Calthek 650 mg should be administered with caution, avoiding prolonged treatment in patients with anaemia, heart or lung disease or severe hepatic and renal dysfunction.

Avoid the simultaneous use of this medicine with other medicines containing paracetamol, such as anti-influenza medicines, and if administered, the maximum daily dose should not be exceeded taking into account the content of all the medicines used by the patient. Hepatotoxicity has been reported with daily doses of less than 4g.

Caution is advised in asthmatic patients sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid, as slight bronchospastic reactions with paracetamol (cross-reaction) have been reported in these patients, and although they have only occurred in a minority of patients, it may cause serious reactions in some cases, especially when administered in high doses.
