Is it safe to take it with other drugs?

Avoid using this product alongside sympathomimetic agents (e.g., Epinephrine) and general anesthetics (e.g., Halothane) due to the potential for heightened toxicity.
 
Combining it with medications for depression (e.g., Amitriptyline, Imipramine, Sertraline, Moclobemide, etc.) could lead to a hypertensive crisis, characterized by a sudden and severe increase in blood pressure that may result in a stroke.
 
Additionally, medications that stimulate the enzymes responsible for the metabolic activation of Paracetamol, such as those for convulsions (e.g., Phenobarbital), may increase the risk of liver damage.
 
Inform the doctor about all other medications the patient is taking, particularly those for cough, cold, allergies, pain, or fever.
