- PARACODINA may cause symptoms of dependence after prolonged use. In case of dependence, withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, agitation, insomnia, anxiety and palpitations (perception of the heartbeat) may occur when treatment is stopped.

Other medicines and PARACODINA 10.25 mg/mL oral drops, solution
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take

You must be particularly careful if you take PARACODINA together with other medicines that act
on the central nervous system, in particular other antidepressant medicines such as sedatives, tranquillizers,
antihistamines and alcohol. The concomitant use of PARACODINA and sedative drugs such as benzodiazepines or
derivatives increases the risk of drowsiness, difficulty breathing (respiratory depression), coma and may
be life-threatening. For this reason, concomitant use should only be considered when other treatment options are not possible.
However, if your doctor prescribes PARACODINA together with another sedative drug, the dose and
duration of concomitant treatment must be limited by your doctor.
Tell your doctor about all the sedative drugs you are using and strictly follow the instructions on
dosage provided by your doctor. It may be helpful to inform relatives and friends to be aware of the signs and
symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor if these symptoms occur.
The doctor will monitor you closely if you are taking other medicines, to avoid unexpected and undesirable effects due to the interaction.
