Paracetamol enhances the action of oral coumarin anticoagulants (does not affect the change of bleeding time and platelet aggregation in healthy and haemophilia patients).

Metoclopramide accelerates and propantelin delays the absorption of paracetamol from the gastrointestinal tract; cimetidine, metyrapone, probenecid, antipyrin, salicylamide, isoniazid, ranitidine, propranolol - prolong the half-life of paracetamol in the blood.
