How can this medicine affect other medicines?

You should not take this medicine with any other paracetamol-containing medicines, as this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of paracetamol. Many cold and flu remedies and over-the-counter painkillers contain paracetamol so be sure to check the ingredients of any other medicines before taking them with this one. The absorption of paracetamol from the gut may be decreased if cholestyramine is taken at the same time. There may be an increased risk of extrapyramidal side effects if metoclopramide is taken by people taking antipsychotic medicines. Metoclopramide may oppose the effect of certain medicines for Parkinson's disease, eg ropinirole. Metoclopramide may increase the blood level of the immunosuppressant medicine ciclosporin. Metoclopramide may reduce the absorption of digoxin from digoxin tablets. Metoclopramide has the potential to affect the absorption and effects of various other medicines. Always tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before taking any new treatments. Likewise, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any additional medicines while taking this one.
