What Therimin Forest Berry is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Therimin Forest Berry is a powder that is taken as a hot drink and is supplied in sachets.\u00a0It contains\u00a0paracetamol, which relieves pain<\/a> and reduces fever<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therimin Forest Berry is used for the treatment of temporary fever and pain conditions of a mild nature, e.g. fever during a cold<\/a>, headache, toothache, menstrual pain, muscle, and joint pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This medicine is used in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age. It can be used by people with sensitive stomachs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days in the case of fever or 5 days in the case of pain.
<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know before using Therimin Forest Berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not use Therimin Forest berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not use Therimin Skogsb\u00e4r<\/strong>\u00a0if you are allergic to\u00a0paracetamol\u00a0or any other ingredient in this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be especially careful with Therimin Forest berries if you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– have problems with the kidneys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– have problems with liver function, including damage caused by alcohol problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– have Gilbert’s syndrome (inherited mild jaundice)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– have a deficiency of glucose -6-phosphate dehydrogenase (an enzyme )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– have hemolytic anemia (abnormal breakdown of red blood cells )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– suffer from dehydration or chronic malnutrition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use other painkillers that contain\u00a0paracetamol, you should not use Therimin Skogsb\u00e4r without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warnings and precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not exceed the recommended daily\u00a0dose\u00a0stated in section 3.\u00a0<\/strong>A higher\u00a0dose\u00a0than recommended does not provide better pain relief<\/em> but instead carries the risk of very serious liver damage.\u00a0The symptoms of liver damage normally only appear after a couple of days.\u00a0Therefore, you must contact a doctor as soon as possible if you have taken too large a\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not use other\u00a0paracetamol-containing medicines at the same time as there is a risk that the maximum daily dose of\u00a0paracetamol\u00a0will be exceeded.\u00a0<\/strong>Check the content of other medicines before using them at the same time as Therimin Forest Berry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not drink alcohol while using this medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not use this medicine without a doctor’s prescription if you have alcohol problems or liver damage, and also do not use Therimin Forest Berries together with alcohol. The intoxicating effect of alcohol is not increased by adding Therimin Forest Berries, but alcohol can instead increase the toxic effect that paracetamol has on your liver.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not use this medicine in children under 12 years of age or who weigh less than 41 kg.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
