There is no information available to suggest that the extent and type of adverse events of the individual substances is enhanced or the spectrum broadened when the fixed combination is used as instructed.
Increase of the risk of bleeding can persist for 4-8 days after the intake of acetylsalicylic acid. g. intracerebral bleeding) especially in patients with untreated hypertension and / or concomitant treatment with anticoagulants. In single cases these can be life threatening.

• The overall benefit-risk should be considered in patients diagnosed with liver or kidney impairment before use. • Cases of hepatic dysfunction/failure have been reported in patients with depleted glutathione levels, such as those who are severely malnourished, anorexic, have a low body mass index or are chronic heavy users of alcohol or have sepsis.
• In patients with glutathione depleted states, the use of paracetamol may increase the risk of metabolic acidosis. • The risk of paracetamol toxicity may be increased in patients receiving other potentially hepatotoxic […]
