1. What Tachifluactiv is and what it is used for
Tachifluactiv contains as active ingredients paracetamol and vitamin C:
- paracetamol acts by reducing fever (antipyretic) and relieving pain (analgesic);
- vitamin C exerts a protective effect on the vascular system and activates the body's defense mechanisms.
Tachifluactiv is used in adults and children over 6 years of age for:
- treatment of flu-like symptoms and febrile conditions of any type and origin due to exanthematic diseases (infectious diseases generally more common in children and adolescents), colds, infectious diseases or of viral nature;
- headache, neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, and menstrual pain.
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days of treatment.
2. What you need to know before taking Tachifluactiv
Do not take Tachifluactiv
- if the person taking the medicine is allergic to paracetamol or vitamin C or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if the person is under 6 years of age (children).
- if the person taking the medicine suffers from severe haemolytic anaemia (a disease caused by the destruction of certain blood cells, red blood cells).
- if the person taking the medicine has liver diseases that severely impair its function (severe hepatic insufficiency).
- if the person taking the medicine suffers from phenylketonuria (see section “Tachifluactiv effervescent granules contain sodium, maltitol and aspartame”).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Tachifluactiv
- if the person taking the medicine suffers from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (a substance normally present in the human body, whose deficiency may cause a blood disorder),
- if the person taking the medicine has or has had kidney disease (renal insufficiency) or liver disease (hepatic insufficiency) or suffers from Gilbert’s syndrome,
- if the person taking the medicine is undergoing concomitant treatment with analgesic medicines (painkillers), antipyretics (medicines to reduce fever) or anti-inflammatory drugs.
During treatment with Tachifluactiv, inform your doctor immediately if:
You suffer from serious illnesses, including severe renal impairment or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood causing organ damage) or malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or if you are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). In patients with these conditions, a serious condition called metabolic acidosis (an abnormality in blood and body fluids) has been reported when paracetamol is used at regular doses for prolonged periods or when paracetamol is taken together with flucloxacillin. Symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties with rapid deep breathing, drowsiness, nausea and vomiting.
Do not take this medicine for more than three consecutive days without consulting your doctor.
Use of high doses and/or prolonged use
Taking high doses and/or prolonged use of this medicine may cause liver disorders (hepatopathy) and even serious alterations affecting the kidneys and blood. In such cases, your doctor will periodically monitor, through appropriate tests, liver and kidney function and blood composition. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if the person taking it suffers from kidney or liver disease.
Children and adolescents
Do not give Tachifluactiv to children under 6 years of age. See section “Do not take Tachifluactiv”.
Other medicines and Tachifluactiv
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
In particular, inform your doctor if the person taking the medicine is taking:
- medicines containing paracetamol. During treatment with paracetamol, before taking any other medicine check that it does not contain paracetamol, as serious adverse effects may occur if paracetamol is taken in high doses;
- anticoagulants, which are medicines used to make the blood less likely to clot. Your doctor may reduce their dosage;
- flucloxacillin (an antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid disorder (called metabolic acidosis) that must be urgently treated (see section 2);
- medicines or substances that, during chronic treatment, alter liver function, for example:
- rifampicin (an antibiotic);
- cimetidine (a medicine used in the treatment of stomach ulcers);
- antiepileptics (medicines used to treat epilepsy), for example glutethimide, phenobarbital, carbamazepine.
The use of these medicines with Tachifluactiv requires close medical supervision.
Do not take this medicine together with other analgesic medicines (painkillers), antipyretics (medicines to reduce fever) or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Interference with blood tests
If the person taking the medicine needs to undergo blood tests, keep in mind that administration of paracetamol may interfere with the measurement of uric acid levels (uricemia) and blood glucose levels (glycemia).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
If necessary, Tachifluactiv may be used during pregnancy. It is advisable to use the lowest possible dose that relieves pain and/or fever and to take it for the shortest possible time. Contact your doctor or midwife if pain and/or fever do not decrease or if you need to take the medicine more frequently.
Although clinical studies in breastfeeding patients have not shown particular contraindications to the use of paracetamol nor caused adverse effects in the infant, it is recommended to administer the medicine during breastfeeding only when strictly necessary and under direct medical supervision.
Driving and using machines
Tachifluactiv does not affect the ability to drive or use machinery.
Tachifluactiv effervescent tablets contain sodium
This medicine contains 384.295 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per tablet.
This corresponds to 19.2% of the maximum daily dietary intake recommended for an adult.
Tachifluactiv effervescent granules contain:
sodium: This medicine contains 281.91 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per sachet.
This corresponds to 14.1% of the maximum daily dietary intake recommended for an adult. This should be taken into account in people with reduced kidney function or those following a low-sodium diet.
maltitol: If your doctor has diagnosed you with an intolerance to certain sugars, contact them before taking this medicine.
aspartame: This medicine contains 13 mg of aspartame per dose, equivalent to 13 mg/5900 mg.
Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine. It may be harmful if you suffer from phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder causing accumulation of phenylalanine because the body cannot properly eliminate it.

Other medicines and Tachifluactiv
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
In particular, inform your doctor if the person taking the medicine is taking:
- medicines containing paracetamol. During treatment with paracetamol, check that any other medicine you take does not contain paracetamol, as serious adverse effects may occur if paracetamol is taken in high doses;

- anticoagulants, which are medicines used to make the blood less prone to clotting. In this case, especially during prolonged treatment and high-dose paracetamol (4 g daily for at least 4 days), take Tachifluactiv only under strict medical supervision;
- flucloxacillin (an antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid abnormalities (called metabolic acidosis) requiring urgent treatment (see section 2);
- medicines or substances that chronically alter liver function, for example:
- rifampicin (an antibiotic);
- cimetidine (a medicine used to treat stomach ulcers);
- antiepileptics (medicines used to treat epilepsy), such as glutethimide, phenobarbital, carbamazepine;
- chronic alcohol use;

The use of these medicines with Tachifluactiv requires close medical monitoring.
Interference with blood tests
If the person taking the medicine needs to undergo blood tests, note that administration of paracetamol may interfere with the measurement of serum uric acid and blood glucose levels.
Tachifluactiv and alcohol
Take Tachifluactiv with caution if you chronically consume alcohol or use it excessively (3 or more alcoholic drinks per day), as there is a risk of toxicity (see sections “Warnings and precautions” and “If you take more Tachifluactiv than you should”).
