Clinical Pharmacology
Combined analgesic drug
Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects. Blocks COX-1 and COX-2 mainly in the central nervous system, affecting the centers of pain and thermoregulation. In the inflamed tissues, cellular peroxidases neutralize the effect of paracetamol on COX, which explains the almost complete absence of its anti-inflammatory effect. The drug does not adversely affect the water-salt metabolism (sodium and water retention) and the gastrointestinal mucosa due to the lack of effect on the synthesis of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues. The possibility of the formation of methemoglobin is unlikely.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is not formed in the human body, comes only with food.
Physiological functions: it is a cofactor of some hydroxylation and amidation reactions — it transfers electrons to enzymes, providing them with a reducing equivalent. Participates in reactions hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues procollagen to form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine (postranslyatsionnaya collagen modification), the oxidation of the side chains of lysine in proteins to form gidroksitrimetillizina (during synthesis kartinita) oxidation of folic acid to folinic, drug metabolism in liver microsomes and hydroxylation dopamine with the formation of norepinephrine. Increases the activity of amidating enzymes involved in the processing of oxytocin, ADH, and cholysistokinin. Participates in steroidogenesis in the adrenal glands.
The main role at the tissue level is participation in the synthesis of collagen, proteoglycans and other organic components of the intercellular substance of the teeth, bones and the endothelium of capillaries.

Drug interactions
While taking other medicines with Paracetamol EXTRATAB, you should consult with your doctor.
Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.
With prolonged and regular use, paracetamol potentiates the action of warfarin and other coumarin derivatives and increases the risk of bleeding.
Simultaneous use of Kolestiramine reduces the absorption of paracetamol (and weakens the effects of paracetamol).
Metoclopramide and domperidone increase the absorption of paracetamol.
The simultaneous use of paracetamol and NSAIDs (including metamizole sodium, acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen) increases the risk of "analgesic" nephropathy and renal papillary necrosis, end-stage renal failure.
The simultaneous use of paracetamol and chloramphenicol may be accompanied by an increase in T1/2 chloramphenicol up to 5 times.
Inductors of liver microsomal enzymes (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, which makes it possible to develop severe intoxications even with small overdose.
Salicylamide increases T1/2 paracetamol, which leads to the accumulation of paracetamol and, accordingly, increased formation of its toxic metabolites.
The simultaneous use of paracetamol and ethanol can enhance the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol, as well as contribute to the development of acute pancreatitis.
Diflunisal increases the plasma concentration of paracetamol by 50% - the risk of developing hepatotoxicity.
Do not use simultaneously other drugs containing paracetamol, as well as other non-narcotic analgesics. The simultaneous use of other medicines must be agreed with the doctor.
Ascorbic acid increases the concentration in the blood of benzylpenicillin and tetracyclines; at a dose of 1 g / day increases the bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol (includingincluded in oral contraceptives); improves the absorption of iron preparations in the intestine (converts ferric iron to ferrous iron); may increase the excretion of iron while using with deferoxamine; reduces the effectiveness of heparin and indirect anticoagulants.
Acetylsalicylic acid, oral contraceptives, fresh juices and alkaline drinks reduce the absorption and absorption of ascorbic acid. With simultaneous use with acetylsalicylic acid increases the excretion of urine ascorbic acid and decreases the excretion of acetylsalicylic acid.
Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by approximately 30%.
Ascorbic acid increases the risk of crystalluria in the treatment of short-acting salicylates and sulfonamides, slows the kidneys excretion of acids, increases the excretion of drugs having an alkaline reaction (including alkaloids), reduces the concentration of oral contraceptives in the blood.
Drugs quinoline series, calcium chloride, salicylates, corticosteroids with long-term use deplete ascorbic acid reserves.
With simultaneous use of ascorbic acid reduces the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline.
With prolonged use or use in high doses, ascorbic acid may interfere with the interaction of disulfiram and ethanol; in high doses increases the excretion of meksiletin kidneys.
Barbiturates and primidone increase the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.
Ascorbic acid reduces the therapeutic effect of antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) - phenothiazine derivatives, tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants.
Pregnancy and Lactation
There are no data on the efficacy and safety of the combination of paracetamol and ascorbic acid in pregnant and lactating women. Thus, it is not possible to assess the possible balance of risk and benefit, and therefore the use of the drug in these categories of patients is not recommended.
Special instructions
Do not exceed the recommended dose of Paracetamol EXTRATAB.
With hyperthermia, lasting more than 3 days, and pain syndrome for more than 5 days, consultation of the doctor is required.
After 5 days of use of Paracetamol EXTRATAB, control of the peripheral blood pattern and the functional state of the liver is necessary.
Paracetamol distorts laboratory test results in the quantitative determination of plasma glucose and uric acid concentrations.
In order to avoid toxic damage to the liver, paracetamol should not be combined with the intake of beverages containing alcohol, as well as being taken by persons prone to alcohol abuse.
There is evidence that the frequent use of drugs containing paracetamol, leads to worsening symptoms of bronchial asthma. Simultaneous use of other drugs should be agreed with the doctor.
Influence on ability to drive motor transport and control mechanisms
There is no data on the effect of Paracetamol EXTRATAB on the ability to drive motor vehicles and other technical means.
Overdosage
