N02BE51 • paracetamol + ascorbic acid • Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Anilides

The combination of paracetamol and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with colds and flu, such as fever, headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue. It combines the analgesic and antipyretic effects of paracetamol with the antioxidant and immune-supporting properties of ascorbic acid.

- Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces fever and relieves mild to moderate pain. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system.
- Ascorbic acid is an essential vitamin that supports immune system function, reduces oxidative stress, and contributes to tissue regeneration.

This combination is available in the form of effervescent tablets, powder for oral solution, or capsules and is taken orally as directed by a doctor or the package instructions.

Side effects are rare but may include nausea, stomach discomfort, allergic reactions, or, in very rare cases, liver damage (in the case of paracetamol overdose). High doses of ascorbic acid may cause diarrhea or abdominal discomfort.

Patients should adhere to the recommended dosage and avoid long-term use without medical supervision. The combination is not recommended for individuals with severe liver impairment, kidney failure, or allergies to any of the components.
