Other side effects
Paracetamol. Side effects of paracetamol are rare and usually mild, although hematological reactions have been reported. Skin rashes and hypersensitivity reactions occur occasionally.
Overdosage with paracetamol, if left untreated, can result in severe, sometimes fatal liver damage and rarely, acute renal tubular necrosis. Adverse events from historical clinical trial data are both infrequent and from small patient exposure. Accordingly, events reported from extensive post-marketing experience at therapeutic/labeled dose and considered attributable are listed below by system organ class and frequency. As the adverse reactions identified from post-marketing use are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, the frequency is not known but is likely to be very rare.
Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Thrombocytopenia.
Immune system disorders: Anaphylaxis, cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions including skin rashes, angioedema, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders: Bronchospasm in patients sensitive to aspirin and other NSAIDs.
Hepatobiliary disorders: Hepatic dysfunction.
Diphenhydramine. Adverse reactions that have been observed in clinical trials and which are considered to be common or very common are listed below. The frequency of other adverse reactions identified during post-marketing use is not known but these reactions are likely to be uncommon or rare.
Central nervous system (CNS) effects. CNS depressive effects of diphenhydramine hydrochloride include sedation and impaired performance (impaired driving performance, poor work performance, incoordination, reduced motor skills, and impaired information processing).
Performance may be impaired in the absence of sedation and may persist the morning after a nighttime dose. CNS stimulatory effects of diphenhydramine may include anxiety, hallucinations, appetite stimulation, muscle dyskinesias, and activation of epileptogenic foci. High doses of diphenhydramine may cause nervousness, tremor, insomnia, agitation, and irritability.
Anticholinergic effects. Side effects of diphenhydramine associated with cholinergic blockage include dryness of the eyes, mouth, and nose, blurred vision, urinary hesitancy and retention, constipation, and tachycardia.
