FERVEX COLD AND FLU 500mg / 4mg tablets medication leaflet

R05X • paracetamol + chloropheniramine • Respiratory system | Other cold preparations

Paracetamol and chlorpheniramine are active ingredients used in combination to treat symptoms of colds, flu, and allergies, such as fever, headaches, sneezing, runny nose, and itching. This combination is effective in relieving discomfort associated with respiratory infections and allergic reactions.

Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever, being well-tolerated by most patients. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that helps reduce allergic symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge, and itching, while also having a mild sedative effect that can aid in rest.

Although this combination is effective, its use should be approached with caution. Chlorpheniramine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or dry mouth, while paracetamol, if overused, can harm the liver. It is important for patients to avoid alcohol consumption during treatment, as it may enhance the sedative effects of chlorpheniramine.

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