Method of administration

Take care when prescribing and administering DOLIMEX PERF 10 mg/ml, solution for infusion, to avoid errors in dosing due to confusion between milligrams (mg) and millilitres (ml), which could lead to accidental overdose and death. Ensure that the correct dose is communicated and administered. When prescribing, it is recommended that the dose in mg and the corresponding volume be indicated. Ensure that the dose is accurately measured and administered.

Paracetamol solution is given as a 15-minute intravenous infusion.

The paracetamol solution may be diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution up to a factor of 10. In this case, the diluted solution should be used within 2 hours of its preparation (including the infusion time). However, from a microbiological point of view, the product must be used immediately.

Before administration, the product should be visually checked. Do not use DOLIMEX PERF if particles or yellowing are observed.
