Description
What is Dafalgan Odis and when is it used?
Dafalgan Odis orodispersible tablets contain the active ingredient paracetamol, which relieves pain and reduces fever.
Dafalgan Odis orodispersible tablets are used for the short-term treatment of headaches, toothache, pain in the area of joints and ligaments, back pain, pain during menstruation, pain after injuries (e.g. sports injuries), pain from colds and against Fever.
What should be considered?
Like all fever and painkillers, Dafalgan Odis should not be used for longer than 5 days without a doctor's prescription, or for longer than 3 days in the case of fever. For children up to 12 years of age, the maximum continuous use without medical consultation is 3 days.
Painkillers should not be taken regularly over a long period of time without medical supervision. Prolonged pain requires medical evaluation.
High fever or a worsening of the condition in children requires early medical consultation.
To prevent the risk of overdose, it should be ensured that other medications administered do not contain paracetamol.
The indicated dosage or that prescribed by the doctor must not be exceeded.
It should also be borne in mind that the long-term use of painkillers in turn contributes to this headaches may persist.
Long-term use of painkillers, especially when several painkillers are combined, can lead to permanent kidney damage with the risk of kidney failure.
When must Dafalgan Odis not be taken?
Dafalgan Odis must not be taken in the following cases:
- If you are hypersensitive to the active ingredient paracetamol or any other ingredient (see «What is in Dafalgan Odis orodispersible tablets included?"). Such hypersensitivity manifests itself e.g. through asthma, shortness of breath, circulatory problems, swelling of the skin and mucous membranes or skin rashes (urticaria);
- In the case of severe liver diseases;
- In the case of alcohol overconsumption;
- In the case of a hereditary liver disorder (so-called Meulengracht disease).
When is caution required when taking Dafalgan Odis?
In diseases of the kidneys or the liver as well as in the case of the so-called "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency" (rare hereditary disease of the red blood cells) you should consult your doctor before taking it.
Also tell your doctor if you are also taking blood-thinning medication or certain medicines for the treatment of tuberculosis (rifampicin, isoniazid), epilepsy (phenytoin, carbamazepine), gout (Probenecid), elevated blood fat levels (cholestyramine) or HIV infection (zidovudine). Caution is also required when using drugs with 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 ingredient 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 occurrence of metabolic acidosis.
It is not advisable to take paracetamol and alcohol at the same time. The risk of liver damage increases particularly if there is no food intake at the same time.
In the case of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and very severe emaciation, as well as chronic malnutrition, caution is advised when taking Dafalgan Odis.
In the event of a lack of liquid and reduced amounts of blood, caution is required when taking Dafalgan Odis. In the case of a severe infection (e.g. blood poisoning), caution is also required when using Dafalgan Odis.

Talk to your doctor before you (or your child) take or receive this medicine if your doctor has told you that you (or your child) have an intolerance to some sugars or if you have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) - a rare inherited condition in which a person cannot break down fructose. The glucose it contains can be harmful to teeth.
- 4.8 mg aspartame. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine. It can be harmful if you have phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited disorder in which phenylalanine builds up because the body can't break it down properly.

- Sodium 39 mg (main component of cooking/table salt). This corresponds to 2% of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult.
Individuals who are hypersensitive to painkillers or anti-rheumatic medicines may also be hypersensitive to paracetamol (see «What side effects can Dafalgan Odis have?»).
