pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If necessary,\u00a0Paracetamol\u00a0Accord can be used during pregnancy.\u00a0However, you should use the lowest

affect your ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be

corresponds to 20.9% of the maximum recommended daily intake of 2 grams of\u00a0sodium\u00a0for adults and counts as &#8220;high&#8221; sodium intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 100 mg of

daily&nbsp;dose&nbsp;should not be exceeded due to the risk of severe liver damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have severe kidney or liver problems, the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;should be reduced or the interval
