EfferalganMed 1g is a medication indicated for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain and/or fever. Efferalgan 1g effervescent tablets are used for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis pain.
Paracetamol is recommended for acute or chronic pain in the abdomen, back, menstrual cramps, teeth, joints, and injuries, and as first-line treatment for migraines.
At moderate doses, it is well tolerated and poses no known significant risks, except in people with liver failure. It should also not be mixed with alcohol, with which it does not mix well. Trying to treat a hangover the morning after a night out with acetaminophen is a bad idea, as it may be more toxic to the liver. Finally, exercise caution if you’re taking other medications (for a cold, for example), as some already contain acetaminophen, and an overdose can lead to severe liver damage.
You can also take acetaminophen in tablet form with a large glass of water, using the same dosage.
