Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Paralex MD Syrup?
The use of Paralex MD Syrup is considered harmful for patients with a known allergy to any of its components or excipients, or in patients with a known allergy to other painkillers (NSAIDs). It should be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcer or active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding, and in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease.
Can I take Paralex MD Syrup with vitamin B-complex?
