Cafgesic Oral

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: medicine for sleep or anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medicines (e.g., risperidone, trazodone). Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels (e.g., cough-and-cold products, pain relievers, fever reducers) carefully since many contain ingredients that cause drowsiness.

Also check your prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully because they may contain caffeine, other ingredients that could increase your heart rate or blood pressure (e.g., cough-and-cold products, diet aids), acetaminophen, and/or drugs that are similar to salicylamide and, if taken together, may increase your risk for side effects (NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen). Low-dose aspirin should be continued if prescribed by your doctor for specific medical reasons such as heart attack or stroke prevention (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams per day). Also remember that certain beverages (e.g., coffee, colas, tea) and chocolate contain caffeine. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. (See also adult maximum daily dose information for acetaminophen in Side Effects section.)

This medication may interfere with certain medical/laboratory tests (including urine 5-HIAA, skin tests, dipyridamole-thallium imaging tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
