of uric acid and glucose serum levels.
Posology
Dosage should be determined by your doctor, depending on the intensity
of the pain and characteristics of the pain experienced. In general, 1
tablet should be taken every 6 hours. The maximum dose per intake is 2
tablets and the maximum daily dose is 8 tablets. The administration of
this medication depends on the appearance of pain or febrile symptoms,
as these start to disappear you should cease taking this medication. In
cases of severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 10
ml. / minute), the total daily dosage should be reduced by 50% and the
interval between two doses should be at least 8 hours. In elderly patients,
it is recommended to reduce the daily dosage and to leave intervals of
a minimum of 8 hours between doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

blood disorders like leucopenia (decrease of leucocytes), neutropenia
(decrease of neutrophils), thrombocytopenia (decrease of platelets in
the blood, or hemolytic anaemia have been reported. Hepatotoxicity due
to paracetamol can be caused by high dosage or prolonged treatments.

Overdose and its treatment with Tylenol 2
In the case of an overdose you should go to a hospital immediately, even
if you do not experience any symptoms because they are very serious and
are usually manifested as of the third day of ingestion. The period in
which the treatment is likely to be more effective is within the 12 hours
following the ingestion of the overdose. The ingestion of one dose of
more than 6 gr. in adults (12 tablets of AnalgiPlus) and more than 100
mg. per kg. of the body weight in children (4 tablets taken in one dose,
for a child of 20 kg.) is considered a paracetamol overdose. Patients
on barbiturate treatments or chronic alcoholics may be more susceptible
to the toxicity of a paracetamol overdose.
