• Never exceed the dose stated in the information leaflet supplied with this medicine. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose with this medicine, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
• If this medicine is taken regularly for long periods of time, the body can become tolerant to it and it may become less effective at relieving pain.
