Dispense only against a valid prescription that identifies the prescriber, the patient and the quantity. Retain records in the manner your licence requires, and make an entry before the strip leaves the counter rather than at the end of the shift. Dose and duration are the prescriber's decision and should not be altered at the counter.
Patient counselling checklist for the dispensing counter
A short, structured conversation at handover prevents most avoidable harm with this combination.
- Ask what else the patient is taking, specifically any cold, flu, sinus, cough or body ache product, and check each for paracetamol content
- State the paracetamol point plainly: this tablet already contains paracetamol and no other paracetamol product should be added without the doctor's advice
- Advise taking the dose with or after food, swallowed whole with a full glass of water
- Ask about stomach history, kidney or liver disease, heart disease, blood pressure and asthma, and refer back to the prescriber if anything is new
- Check for blood thinners, steroids, diuretics, ACE inhibitors or ARBs, lithium, methotrexate and SSRIs and flag interactions
- Ask about pregnancy or breastfeeding before handing over an NSAID
- Explain the red flags: black stools, coffee-ground vomit, severe abdominal pain, yellow eyes, dark urine, reduced urine output, facial swelling, breathlessness, blistering rash
- Warn against sharing the strip with family members
- Advise against alcohol during the course
- Confirm the patient knows the review date set by the prescriber
Storage and stock handling at the pharmacy
Uncoated tablets are sensitive to humidity, which matters in most Indian retail environments and particularly through the monsoon.
- Hold stock away from direct sunlight and away from the shopfront where afternoon heat builds up
- Keep the storage area protected from moisture and not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, with a thermometer or data logger where feasible
- Store cartons off the floor and away from external walls that take rain
- Follow first expiry first out, and check short-expiry stock at a fixed interval each month
- Do not dispense loose tablets cut from a strip in a way that removes the batch number and expiry from the patient's portion
- Quarantine any stock with damaged foil, water marks, deformed cartons or discolouration, and raise it with the supplier
- Segregate expired stock physically and process returns through the documented route
Prescriber notes and adverse event reporting
For prescribers, the usual principles for this class apply: the lowest effective dose for the shortest period appropriate to the indication, with attention to gastrointestinal, renal and cardiovascular risk. Consider gastroprotection where risk factors are present, review concomitant nephrotoxic or antihypertensive therapy, and account for total daily paracetamol across all sources including anything the patient buys over the counter. Reassess rather than repeat when pain persists beyond the expected course.
Document suspected adverse drug reactions with the batch number, dates, concomitant medicines and outcome, and forward them through the national pharmacovigilance route so the safety picture for the product is maintained. Advise patients to bring the strip or carton to hospital in any suspected overdose, since prompt identification of a paracetamol-containing product changes emergency management.
