Rarely - from the blood (thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis); increased intraocular pressure, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, urinary retention.
With prolonged use in excess of the recommended dose, hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects may be observed.

Overdose
An overdose of paracetamol appears after taking 10-15 g: symptoms - discomfort in the epigastric region, nausea, vomiting, pallor of the skin, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting; hepatonecrosis (the severity of necrosis is directly dependent on the degree of overdose); increased activity of "liver" transaminases, an increase in prothrombin time (12-48 hours after administration); A detailed clinical picture of liver damage occurs after 1-6 days. Rarely, liver dysfunction develops with lightning speed and may be complicated by renal failure (renal tubular necrosis).
Treatment: symptomatic, gastric lavage, administration of SH-group donators and precursors of glutathione-methionine synthesis 8–9 hours after overdose, and N-acetylcysteine after 12 hours. Need for additional therapeutic measures (further administration of methionine N-acetylcysteine) is determined depending on the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, as well as the time elapsed after taking it.
Use with other drugs
Stimulants of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites of paracetamol, which makes it possible for severe intoxications to develop with small overdose.
Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation (cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxic action of the drug.
Paracetamol enhances the effects of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, sedative drugs, ethanol.
Ethanol contributes to the development of acute pancreatitis.
Antidepressants, anti-parkinsonian, antipsychotic drugs, phenothiazine derivatives - the risk of urine retention, dry mouth, constipation.
Glucocorticosteroids - the risk of developing glaucoma.
Phenylephrine reduces the hypotensive effect of guanethidine.
Guanethidine enhances the alpha-adrenostimulating effect, and tricyclic antidepressants increase the sympathomimetic effects of phenylephrine.
Reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.
When slowing gastric emptying (propanthelin) may be a slow onset of action of the drug. With the acceleration of gastric emptying (metoclopramide), the drug begins to act faster.
May enhance the effect of indirect anticoagulants.
