THERAFLU EXTRA COLD AND FLU 650mg / 20mg / 10mg powder for oral solution medication leaflet

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

Paracetamol, pheniramine, and phenylephrine are active ingredients used in combination to treat cold and flu symptoms such as fever, headaches, nasal congestion, and allergic symptoms like sneezing or runny nose. This combination provides a comprehensive solution for relieving discomfort associated with respiratory infections.

Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever, being well-tolerated by most patients. Pheniramine is an antihistamine that helps reduce allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal discharge. 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. Pheniramine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or dry mouth, while phenylephrine may cause increased blood pressure, insomnia, or agitation, especially in sensitive individuals. Additionally, it is important not to exceed the recommended dose of paracetamol, as it can harm the liver.

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 high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, or other chronic conditions should consult a doctor before use.
