• It is particularly important to monitor serum paracetamol levels in cases of acute overdosage or long-term use. This is important as paracetamol toxicity can cause liver damage, and monitoring serum levels can help detect and prevent potential liver damage. Regular liver function tests may also be necessary to monitor the patient's liver health.
• In patients with G6PD deficiency, caution should be exercised as paracetamol can cause hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells). In such cases, monitoring of the patient's blood cell count may be necessary.
• Patients with renal impairment should be monitored for signs of worsening kidney function, as paracetamol is primarily excreted by the kidneys. Similarly, patients with hepatic impairment should be monitored for potential liver damage caused by paracetamol.
• Pregnant and lactating women should also be closely monitored when taking paracetamol, as there may be a risk of fetal harm or adverse effects on the nursing infant. Consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended in these cases.
