How to use Paracetamol NET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Note! Higher doses than those recommended carry a risk of very serious liver damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAlways use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tablet should be swallowed with a glass of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommended dose is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adults and adolescents over 40 kg (over 12 years):<\/em> 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours, maximum 8 tablets per day. Contact a doctor if the symptoms worsen or do not improve within 3 days in case of fever and 5 days in case of pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren under 40 kg (under 12 years):<\/em> For children, a dose should be given based on the child’s weight (age indication is approximate).
