Indicated for: cold and flu symptoms
Substance: paracetamol + propyphenazone + caffeine + codeine (analgesics and antipyretics + xanthine stimulant + opioid analgesic)
ATC: N02BE51 (Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Anilides)
Paracetamol, propyphenazone, caffeine, and codeine are active ingredients used in combination to treat moderate to severe pain, especially when other analgesics are insufficient. This combination is effective in relieving headaches, migraines, dental pain, or muscle pain.
Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever. Propyphenazone is another analgesic that enhances the effect of paracetamol, providing faster pain relief. Caffeine acts as a stimulant and improves the absorption of analgesics, increasing their effectiveness. Codeine is a mild opioid that works on the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.
Although this combination is effective, its use should be approached with caution. Codeine can cause dependency if used long-term or in high doses. It may also cause drowsiness, dizziness, or constipation. Caffeine can lead to insomnia, agitation, or palpitations, especially in sensitive individuals. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid adverse effects.
This combination is available only by prescription, and its use should be supervised by a doctor. It is essential for patients to follow the doctor’s instructions and avoid long-term use of this treatment. If the pain persists or worsens, further medical evaluation is necessary.
