¿Puedo tomar Metronidazol y Paracetamol juntos?

Puedes tomar paracetamol for pain or fever while taking a course of metronidazol, as these medicines are processed by the body using different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other works.

How to take metronidazole and paracetamol safely

• Always follow the dosage instructions on the packet or as advised by your pharmacist.

• Remember to avoid drinking any alcohol while taking metronidazole and for at least 48 hours after finishing the course, as this can cause a severe reaction.

Precauciones importantes

Consumo de alcohol

Do not drink any alcohol while taking metronidazole and for at least 48 hours after finishing the course. Doing so can cause a severe reaction including throbbing headaches, palpitations, feeling or being sick, and flushing.

Multiple medicine use

Do not take any other medicines containing paracetamol at the same time. Many cold and flu remedies and some painkillers contain paracetamol; taking more than one product can lead to a dangerous overdose.

Alcohol

You must not drink any alcohol while taking metronidazole and for at least 48 hours after finishing the course. Combining the two can cause a 'disulfiram-like reaction', which includes severe nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, hot flushes, a pounding heartbeat (palpitations), and headaches. This includes alcohol found in some mouthwashes or cough syrups.

Es mejor evitar o limitar estrictamente el alcohol al tomar paracetamol. Combinar alcohol con paracetamol aumenta el riesgo de daño hepático grave.
