DOLIPRANETABS 1000MG TABLET 8

What do you need to know about DolipraneTabs 1000 mg?

DolipraneTabs (the advisory version of "classic" Doliprane and therefore non-reimbursable) is composed of paracetamol and is the first medication sold without a prescription and the best-selling analgesic and antipyretic to relieve muscle or joint pain or reduce fever during an infectious episode.

What is the dosage of DolipraneTabs 1000 mg?

You probably know the dosage; for an adult, do not exceed the dose one gram every 6 hours and thus a maximum of 4 tablets per day.
You will be able to assess its effectiveness within an hour of taking it. Remember to take Doliprane systematically (always spacing out doses by at least 4 hours) to avoid rebound pain or fever. It is always more difficult to reduce pain and lower a temperature than to maintain it at the level achieved by the previous dose.

What are the contraindications for DolipraneTabs 1000 mg?

Like all medications, Doliprane has contraindications and combinations to avoid or prohibit. Remember that the alcohol consumption is strongly discouraged with a concomitant intake of paracetamol and that you will need to be particularly careful with other medications you are taking which sometimes contain the same active ingredient. I am thinking in particular of over-the-counter medications to relieve a cold and which often contain paracetamol in their formula. You would then expose yourself to a risk of overdose which is particularly harmful and dangerous for your liver.

What are the dangers of DolipraneTabs 1000 mg?

Doliprane contains Paracetamol . A very large number of medications contain it. It is essential to carefully check the composition of the medications taken together. Paracetamol is the reference active ingredient for treating pain and fever, but it is not without danger. It can be responsible for irreversible damage, particularly to the liver in case of overdose. Overdose refers to repeated and close doses of paracetamol that expose the body to doses higher than those tolerated by the body. This risk is higher in the elderly and young children or in people with liver disease (which contraindicates the use of paracetamol). It is also strongly recommended not to consume alcohol while taking paracetamol.

Frequently asked questions about DolipraneTabs 1000 mg

Just like at the counter, ask our pharmacists your questions about DolipraneTabs 1000 mg.

Why did you add the word "Tabs" to DolipraneTabs 1000 mg?

"Tabs" is short for the English word "tablets" which means tablet.

Why is there a DolipraneTabs 1000 mg and a Doliprane?

You should know that there is no difference between DolipraneTabs and Doliprane. The only reason for marketing them is administrative. Doliprane is a medication that can be covered by social security and whose sales price is regulated. DolipraneTabs was created to circumvent this very French regulation. This medication is not covered and its sales price is therefore not regulated. Generally, you can find DolipraneTabs at a lower price than Doliprane.

What can I combine DolipraneTabs 1000 mg with?

It is not uncommon to see paracetamol combined with ibuprofen . or aspirin , both anti-inflammatories. They can relieve pain and are also good antipyretics (they fight fever). However, it is not necessary to combine them immediately. Indeed, if paracetamol used systematically every 6 hours is enough to reduce the temperature, it will not be useful to combine it with another medication. If the expected effect of paracetamol is insufficient, it will then be possible to reassess the treatment and, if there are no contraindications, introduce an anti-inflammatory to complement the action of Doliprane.
