Other General Warnings

• You experience anorexia (loss of appetite), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, or dark urine. These are clinical signs of serious liver injury, and the medicine must be stopped immediately
• You develop black, tarry stools or vomit blood (which indicate gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration), immediately stop the medicine.
• You are elderly, the chances of side effects (gastrointestinal haemorrhage, perforation, and impaired renal, hepatic, or cardiac function) increase.
• You are suffering from liver, kidney, or heart disease.
• You have a history of stomach or intestine ulcers.
• You are expected to go through any upcoming surgery.

• Store Sumo tablets in a cool and dry place.
• Keep it out of reach of the children and pets.

• Please do not take more than the daily prescribed dose of Sumo tablet, as it contains paracetamol and Nimesulide; taking in excess (15 consecutive days) can affect the liver or kidney.
• Use it for the shortest possible period. Nimesulide is associated with serious liver injury, which is why it is restricted to short courses and is not a first-choice painkiller.
• Stop the tablet and seek medical attention if you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, persistent nausea, loss of appetite, or pain in the upper right abdomen. These suggest liver injury and can appear without warning.
• Do not give it to anyone under 12 years of age.
• Avoid alcohol while taking it, as it adds substantially to the risk of liver injury and stomach bleeding.
• Do not combine it with another anti-inflammatory painkiller or with a separate paracetamol product, as this tablet already contains paracetamol and the doses add up.
• Tell your doctor before taking it if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure or a history of stomach ulcer, or if you take a blood thinner or a diuretic.

Overdose

• Symptoms of an overdose of Sumo tablet may include nausea, vomiting, stomach disturbances, skin rashes, chills, fever, etc. More severe signs of paracetamol toxicity include pallor, malaise, and diaphoresis, which may lead to liver necrosis and hepatic failure within 48 to 72 hours. If an overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical help immediately.
• Treatment may involve N-acetylcysteine as an antidote for the paracetamol component. Note that Nimesulide is highly protein-bound and is not dialyzable in case of overdose. Always carry the package of the tablet along with you for easy assessment of the severity of an overdose.
