Algesic 1000MG Tab

Tablet

Relief of mild to moderate pain and reduction of fever (e.g., headache, body ache, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, fever with cold/flu).

If this product contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), it works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, which reduces pain and lowers fever. It has minimal anti-inflammatory action compared to NSAIDs.

Take by mouth with water. Commonly taken after food if it causes stomach upset. Follow the dose as advised by a doctor; do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose stated on the label, especially if the product contains paracetamol.

Nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, dizziness, rash

Do not exceed recommended dose; overdose (especially with paracetamol) can cause severe liver damage. Use with caution in liver disease, chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, severe kidney disease, and in elderly. Avoid taking multiple medicines containing the same ingredient (e.g., other paracetamol-containing cold/flu products). Stop and seek medical help if allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) occur.

Alcohol (increases liver toxicity risk if paracetamol-containing), warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk with regular paracetamol use), isoniazid or other hepatotoxic drugs (increased liver risk), enzyme inducers like phenytoin/carbamazepine/rifampicin (may increase liver toxicity risk)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
