Can I take Paracetamol adult and Sentraline together?

Why this happens

Paracetamol and sertraline are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the body. They also work on different systems in the body and do not have overlapping side effects.

What you should do

You can take paracetamol while taking sertraline. Always follow the dosage instructions on the paracetamol packaging and do not exceed 4 grams (eight 500mg tablets) in a 24-hour period. If you find you need to take paracetamol every day for more than a few days, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
