No, do not take more than 8 tablets in any 24-hour period. Taking too much can lead to serious health problems, including liver damage or overdose.
Individuals under 18 who have had their tonsils or adenoids removed due to obstructive sleep apnoea, those who rapidly metabolize codeine to morphine, and breastfeeding mothers should not take this product. It is also not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
It is advisable to avoid alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness, and may also increase the risk of liver damage if combined with paracetamol.
