Interactions:
Inducers of microsomal liver oxidation (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, flumecinol, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), ethanol, and hepatotoxic drugs increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, leading to the possibility of severe intoxication, even with a small overdose.
Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation (including cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxic effects. When taken together with salicylates, the nephrotoxic effect of paracetamol increases. The combination with chloramphenicol leads to an increase in the toxic properties of the latter. It enhances the action of indirect anticoagulants, reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric product.
