Paracetamol is a pain reducing or pain relieving drug. It is generally prescribed in the case of headache, backache, pain, toothaches, fever, muscle aches, arthritis, and fevers. The reaction of any medicine depends person to person. Some may found paracetamol allergic, skin infections are also seen. it has other side effects like dark coloured urine and stool, stomach pain, loss of appetite and jaundice.
Take this medicine as per prescribed by the doctor because extreme use of paracetamol leads to liver damage. Do not take after alcohol, do not use this medicine empty stomach; this may lead to high blood pressure.
Unfortunately, I am allergic to paracetamol too. I have seen change in urine color after taking paracetamol and increase in my blood pressure. I consult to doctor regarding this, he prescribed me ibuprofen. There are many other painkillers available such as naproxen, ketoprofen, Nabumetone, Aspirin, Morphine, Codeine etc. Please consult to doctor before taking these medicines.
Hope this helps you. Good Luck.
I am allergic to paracetomol, my throat swells up, I can't really breathe and get flu like symptoms like runny nose and coughing. As a kid my parents used to always give me panadol, I'm not sure why I'm getting this reaction as an adult.
Kindly share if anyone can help me.......
I took this drug before, with no adverse effects.
Last night I woke up all in severe hives. (hips, thighs, chest, back; none on the head, hands, neck or arms). The hives are itchy for a time. New ones pop up when the older ones subdue - sort of like moving across the body.
The only medication I had been taking was Paracetamol so I am 100% this is not reaction to any other drug. I am not allergic to any other factors.
I am shocked by what I am reading here with so many people with identical symptoms. The leaflet (APAP, EU version) says 'rash'. What I have is not a 'rash' - I am literally covered in hives from knees to elbows. This looks very serious.
I posted just below you. I am in the same basket - same itchy hives. Trying to limit the allergy with a topic anti-histamine gel now. Wondering if you found a way to get rid of the allergy. If so, what medicine did you use?
I have always been able to use panadol and I very rarely take them but yesterday morning after waking up with a headache I took two. I threw up and my throat closed over so that I could not breathe. I had been at a singing rehearsal that night so not sure if this contributed.
