time it takes your blood to clot; you should not take this medicine several
days before any scheduled surgery appointments.
This medicine should not be given to children under 16 years unless

women. This effect is reversible on stopping the medicine.

1. What Dual Action Pain Control Tablets are and what they are used for
You should not take Dual Action Pain Control Tablets if you:

swollen face, mouth or tongue or asthma attack.

• if you have an infection
• if you are a woman trying to conceive
• suffer from heart disease and/or high blood pressure

Caution should be exercised when taking paracetamol products prior to (less than
72 hours before) or at the same time as intravenous busulfan.
Your blood, kidney and liver should be monitored during prolonged use as blood,
kidney and liver disorders may develop.
This medicine contains paracetamol; do not take with any other
paracetamol-containing products at the same time. Aspirin can increase the
time it takes your blood to clot; you should not take this medicine several
days before any scheduled surgery appointments.
This medicine should not be given to children under 16 years unless
specifically advised by your doctor (e.g. to treat Kawasaki’s disease), due to
the association between aspirin and Reye’s syndrome, a very rare disease
that can cause damage to the brain, liver and could be fatal.
This product belongs to a group of medicines which may impair the fertility in
women. This effect is reversible on stopping the medicine.
