Introduction:
Neomol has analgesic and antipyretic actions. It produces its analgesic
action by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis both centrally and peripherally.

Contraindications:
Neomol suspension, Neomol Plus suspension and Neomol tablets are
contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or
one of their components.
Precautions:
Care is advised in the administration of paracetamol to patients with
severe renal or severe hepatic impairment. The hazards of overdose are greater in those with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver disease.
Coadministration with any other paracetamol-containing products is not
advised.
Incase of overdosage, patients should seek immediate medical attention.
Even if the patient feels well, immediate medical attention is still
recommended because of the risk of delayed serious liver damage.
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Overdosage:
Symptoms of paracetamol overdose in the first 24 hours are pallor,
nausea, vomiting, anorexia and abdominal pain. Paracetamol overdose
can cause liver failure. In the event of an overdose, immediate treatment is
essential. Even if symptoms are not present, the patient should be taken to
hospital and general support measures initiated. If around 7.5 gm or more
of paracetamol has been ingested in the preceding 4 hours, then the
patient should undergo gastric lavage. Oral methionine or intravenous
N-acetylcysteine can have a beneficial effect up to 48 hours after
overdose.

recommended dose is 10 mg/kg (5 mg/kg if jaundiced).

Side effects:
Adverse effects of paracetamol are rare but hypersensitivity including skin
rash may occur. There have been reports of blood dyscrasias (disorders)
including thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, neutropenia, but these were not
necessarily related to paracetamol. Hypotension on infusion and cases of
acute pancreatitis has been reported. Allergic reactions occur occasionally.
Nephrotoxic effects are uncommon and have not been reported in
association with therapeutic doses, except after prolonged administration.
Important: liver damage (and less frequently renal damage) following
overdosage.
Paracetamol has been widely used and reports of adverse reactions are
rare, and are generally associated with overdosage.
Use in pregnancy and lactation:
The safety of paracetamol during pregnancy and lactation has not been
established.

Drug interactions:
Patients who are on treatment with barbiturates and tricyclic antidepressants
or those who consume alcohol may have a reduced ability to metabolise
large doses of paracetamol. In such cases, the plasma half-life of
paracetamol can be prolonged.
Chronic ingestion of anticonvulsants or oral steroid contraceptives induce
liver enzymes. This may prevent attaining of therapeutic paracetamol
levels by increasing first its metabolism or clearance.
Alcohol can increase the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol overdose.
Metoclopramide and domperidone may increase the speed of absorption
of paracetamol and absorption reduced by cholestyramine.
Prolonged regular use of paracetamol may reduce the anticoagulant effect
of warfarin and other coumarins with increased risk of bleeding.
