You can take 2 x 500 up to 4 times a day.If things persist see your gp.
Avoid caffeine and red wine for a few days. Not too long on the pc or in front of the tv either. xx  |

Taking paracetamol with caffeine is actually recommended. It speeds up the metabolism and makes it more effective more quickly. That's why many brands of paracetamol have caffeine in the ingredients. |

Additional/too much caffeine amongst other things can bring on headaches,vertigo etc. As a sufferer I've found out the hard way and have taken professional advice which has helped immensely.

I'm sorry some posts made you feel you needed to apologise. Glad you are feeling better. Some people can post ridiculous repetitive threads on here.....what's for tea etc, and don't get a single negative response. Hey ho  |
