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

Paracetamol, ascorbic acid, and phenylephrine are active ingredients used in combination to treat cold and flu symptoms such as fever, headaches, nasal congestion, and fatigue. This combination is commonly used to provide quick relief from discomfort associated with respiratory infections.

Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever, being well-tolerated by most patients. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supports the immune system and may help reduce the duration of cold symptoms. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing inflammation and congestion.

Although this combination is effective, its use should be approached with caution. Phenylephrine may cause insomnia, agitation, or increased blood pressure, especially in sensitive individuals. Paracetamol, if overused, can harm the liver. It is important for patients to follow the recommended dosage and avoid alcohol consumption during treatment.

This combination is available over the counter, but patients should follow the usage instructions and avoid long-term use. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, medical advice is necessary. Individuals with high blood pressure or other chronic conditions should consult a doctor before use.
