- In case of pain or fever, do not use longer than specified in the leaflet without medical advice!
- With long-term use of painkillers, headaches caused by the painkiller can occur. Talk to your doctor to prevent your headache from becoming chronic.
- The habitual use of painkillers can lead to permanent kidney damage. If several painkillers are combined, or if one painkiller contains several active ingredients, the risk increases.

Occasional alcohol consumption in small amounts is allowed, but not with the drug.
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?
The active ingredient belongs to a group of substances that act against pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.
