The information provided here is based primarily on side effects that occur in at least one in 1,000 patients treated.
- In case of pain or fever, do not use for longer than specified in the package leaflet without medical advice!
- Prolonged use of painkillers can lead to headaches caused by the painkiller. 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 of this increases.
- In children and adolescents with febrile illnesses, the medicine may only be given on medical advice. Reye's syndrome, a rare but life-threatening condition in which prolonged vomiting occurs, may occur.
- Caution: Patients with nasal polyps, chronic respiratory tract infections, asthma or a tendency to allergic reactions such as hay fever: the medicine may trigger an asthma attack or a severe allergic skin reaction. Therefore, consult your doctor before use.
- Before an operation - including minor procedures such as tooth extraction - stop taking/using the medicine, as the bleeding time may be prolonged.
- Take care if you are allergic to binding agents (e.g. carboxymethylcellulose with the E number E 466)!
- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore always tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already taking before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
- Alcohol consumption should be avoided as far as possible during long-term treatment. Occasional alcohol consumption in small quantities is permitted, but not together with the medication.
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient has an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. It blocks the formation of certain messenger substances in the body, known as prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever and inflammation.
Blood clotting is also influenced by acetylsalicylic acid. The substance prevents the blood platelets (thrombocytes) from clumping together and thus improves the blood's ability to flow.

Application

- Mild to moderate pain, e.g. headache, toothache or menstrual pain - fever
