What is Efferaldol with Vitamin C and what is it used for?

Efferaldol is a medicine formulated with paracetamol and vitamin C, two active ingredients used to treat mild to moderate pain and fever.

It comes in a pack of 20 effervescent tablets.

Who it is intended for

Suitable for use in adults and children from the age of 9 years.

Instructions for use

Dissolve 1 effervescent tablet in a glass of water, and wait until completely dissolved before taking. The recommended dosage varies according to the age of the patient:

  • Adults and over 14 years of age: take 1 or 2 tablets every 4/6 hours. Do not exceed the maximum dose of 8 tablets per day.

  • Children between 9 - 14 years (over 27 kg): take 1 tablet every 4-6 hours. Maximum 5 tablets daily.

In patients with renal insufficiency the dose will be:

  • Glomerular filtration 10-50 ml/min: 1 tablet every 6 hours.

  • Glomerular filtration rate less than 10 ml/min: 1 tablet every 8 hours.

In patients with hepatic insufficiency, do not exceed 6 tablets daily, necessarily at intervals of 8 hours.

Contraindications

Do not use Efferaldol with Vitamin C:

  • In children under 9 years of age.

  • In patients with hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any of the excipients, in hepatocellular disorders, or phenylketonuria.

Precautions

Special care should be taken in patients with chronic alcoholism, renal insufficiency, heart failure, pulmonary disorders and anaemia, oxalate urolithiasis or iron reserve disorders (haemochromatosis, sideroblastic anaemia), fructose intolerance.

Vitamin C can increase excretion of basic drugs and increase excretion of acidic drugs. It also increases iron absorption in the digestive tract.

In pregnant women, a doctor's supervision is recommended before use, as well as during breastfeeding.

Consult your doctor if you are taking medicines such as chloramphenicol, propranolol, probenecid, metoclopramide, domperidone, rifampicin, lamotrigine, isoniazid, among others, as the plasma levels of these or of paracetamol may be affected, increasing or decreasing, causing toxicity or relatively shielding the effect.

In alcoholic patients, the dose should not exceed 3 g of paracetamol within 24 hours.
