Indicated for: cold and flu symptoms
Substance: paracetamol + phenylephrine + ascorbic acid (analgesic and antipyretic + adrenergic decongestant + vitamin)
ATC: N02BE51 (Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Anilides)
Paracetamol, phenylephrine, and ascorbic acid are substances commonly used in the symptomatic treatment of colds and flu. Paracetamol reduces fever and relieves headaches or muscle pain. Phenylephrine helps decongest the nasal passages, making breathing easier, while ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supports the immune system.
These substances are often found in tablets or soluble sachets, taken orally. The dose and frequency of administration should be followed according to the instructions on the packaging or those given by a doctor, to avoid overdose or adverse reactions. They are suitable for adults and children above a certain age, depending on the product.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, increased blood pressure (due to phenylephrine), digestive disturbances, or, rarely, liver damage (due to paracetamol). It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and not to combine with other medicines containing the same active substances.
Paracetamol, phenylephrine, and ascorbic acid provide an effective solution for the rapid relief of cold and flu symptoms. Their correct use, under medical supervision, helps reduce discomfort and speed up recovery.
