DAFALGAN® 500 mg tablets
What is Dafalgan and when is it used?
Dafalgan tablets contain the active ingredient paracetamol, which has a pain-relieving and fever-reducing effect.
Dafalgan tablets are used for the short-term treatment of headaches, toothaches, joint and ligament pain, back pain, menstrual pain, pain after injuries (e.g. sports injuries), pain from colds and fever.
When not to take Dafalgan?
Do not take Dafalgan in the following cases:
- In case of hypersensitivity to the active substance paracetamol or any other ingredient (see «What is in Dafalgan tablets?»). Such hypersensitivity manifests itself e.g. through asthma, shortness of breath, circulatory problems, low blood pressure, swelling of the skin and mucous membranes or skin rashes (urticaria);
- In the case of severe liver diseases;
- In the case of a hereditary liver disorder ( so-called Meulengracht disease).
When should caution be taken when taking Dafalgan?
In diseases of the kidneys or the liver as well as with so-called "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency" (rare hereditary disease of the red blood cells), you should consult your doctor before taking.
Also tell your doctor if you are also taking blood-thinning medicines or certain medicines used to treat tuberculosis (rifampicin, isoniazid), epilepsy (phenytoin, carbamazepine), gout (probenecid), high blood fat levels (cholestyramine) or HIV- infections (zidovudine). Caution is also required when using drugs containing the active ingredients chloramphenicol, salicylamide or phenobarbital at the same time.
Your doctor must also be informed if you are using an antibiotic with the active substance flucloxacillin at the same time, as there is an increased risk of acidification of the blood (metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap). Close medical monitoring is recommended to detect the onset of metabolic acidosis.
Alcohol consumption is not recommended during treatment with Dafalgan. The risk of liver damage increases, especially if you do not eat at the same time. Drugs containing the active ingredient paracetamol must not be given to children who have accidentally consumed alcohol.
Dafalgan should be used with caution in the case of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and severe emaciation, as well as chronic malnutrition.
Diafalgan should be taken with caution if you are dehydrated or have reduced blood levels. If you have a severe infection (e.g. blood poisoning), caution should also be exercised when using Dafalgan.
This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, i.e. essentially 'sodium-free'. it is almost «sodium-free».
Individuals who are hypersensitive to painkillers or antirheumatic drugs may also be hypersensitive to paracetamol (see «What side effects can Dafalgan have?»).
It is also important to remember that long-term, frequent use of painkillers can itself contribute to headaches developing or making existing headaches worse. In such cases, contact your doctor.
Long-term use of painkillers, especially when taking a combination of several painkillers, can lead to permanent kidney damage with the risk of kidney failure.
To avoid the risk of overdose, it should be ensured that other medications administered do not contain paracetamol.
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you
- suffer from other illnesses,
- have allergies or
- take other medicines (including those you bought yourself!) or use them externally!

Furthermore, shortness of breath or asthma may occur, especially if these side effects have also been observed previously with the use of acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). If signs of a hypersensitivity reaction or bruising/bleeding occur, the drug should be discontinued and the doctor consulted. Rarely, changes in the blood picture have been observed, such as a reduced number of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) or a severe reduction in the number of certain white blood cells (agranulocytosis; neutropenia, leucopenia).
