Do not take Panadol Extra Advance Tablets if:

If you are taking other medicines
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these tablets if you are taking any prescribed medicines; particularly metoclopramide or domperidone (for nausea [feeling sick] or vomiting [being sick]) or colestyramine (to lower blood cholesterol). If you take blood thinning drugs (anticoagulants e.g. warfarin) and you need to take a pain reliever on a daily basis, talk to your doctor because of the risk of bleeding. But you can still take occasional doses of Panadol Extra Advance Tablets at the same time as anticoagulants. This product is not recommended if you are taking lithium.
Each Panadol Extra Tablet contains the active ingredients:
Paracetamol Ph Eur 500 mg and caffeine Ph Eur 65 mg. The tablets also contain Starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, potassium sorbate (E202), talc, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium. The film coat contains hypromellose and triacetin. The printing ink contains: ethanol, propylene glycol, shellac, brilliant blue FCF (E133), sodium lactate and dimethylpolysiloxane.
Possible side effects whilst taking Panadol Extra Tablets:
Most people taking these tablets find they cause them no problems. However occasionally some people may get allergic reactions, such as skin rash. In all the years paracetamol has been used there have been very rare reports of blood disorders, but these were not necessarily caused by paracetamol. These effects should go away once you stop taking the medicine. If you are concerned about these effects, or if these tablets affect you in any other way, stop taking them and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
