This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.

- With long-term use of painkillers, headaches caused by the painkiller can occur. Talk to your doctor to prevent your headache from becoming chronic.
- The habitual use of painkillers can lead to permanent kidney damage. If several painkillers are combined, or if one painkiller contains several active ingredients, the risk increases.

- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already using before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
- Consumption of alcohol should be avoided as far as possible during long-term treatment . Occasional alcohol consumption in small amounts is allowed, but not with the drug.
