About Paranorm Tablet

Paranorm Tablet is used to treat signs of migraine such as headache, being sick (vomiting), and feeling sick (nausea). Migraine is a neurological condition which is characterised by an intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache which generally occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift.

Paranorm Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Metoclopramide (anti-emetics) and Paracetamol (analgesics). Metoclopramide works on the part of the brain and prevents the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It also works on the muscles in the upper part of the digestive system, which helps empty the stomach. Paracetamol works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as prostaglandins, which cause pain. Together, Paranorm Tablet helps relieve the symptoms of migraine.

Take Paranorm Tablet as prescribed. You are advised to take Paranorm Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, diarrhoea, irregular periods, weakness, nervousness and breast enlargement in men. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking Paranorm Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Paranorm Tablet should not be taken during the first 6 months of pregnancy. Paranorm Tablet may cause drowsiness and sleepiness, so drive with caution. Paranorm Tablet is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Paranorm Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and sleepiness.
