Paramet Strip Of 10 Tablets
Medical Description
Paramet tablets are a combination of paracetamol and metoclopramide, which work together to relieve pain and nausea associated with migraine attacks. Paracetamol is a powerful pain reliever, while metoclopramide helps to prevent and relieve nausea and vomiting.
Paramet tablets are not recommended for children under 18 or adults over 65. Long-term use of Paramet tablets should also be avoided, as it may increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage and uncontrolled jerky movements of the facial muscles and eyes.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before taking Paramet tablets. Be sure to tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as well as any medical conditions you have.
