Important Safety Information
Panadol Multi-Symptom contains acetaminophen. Do not take it together with another medicine containing acetaminophen or paracetamol unless a healthcare professional has specifically advised you to do so. Taking too much acetaminophen can cause serious liver injury.
The product also contains a decongestant. Check with a doctor or pharmacist before use if you have a medical condition, take prescription medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure whether a multi-symptom cold medicine is appropriate for you.
Because this formulation contains caffeine, taking it late in the day may interfere with sleep in some people even though the product is labeled non-drowsy.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. In the event of an accidental overdose, seek medical attention promptly even if the person initially feels well.
Keep medicines out of the reach of children. Store according to the instructions printed on the current package and do not use medicine that is expired or has damaged packaging.

The package identifies this particular formulation as Non-Drowsy. This distinguishes it from nighttime cold-and-flu products that may contain ingredients intended to cause or contribute to drowsiness.
