About this active substance

The combination of acetylsalicylic acid and pseudoephedrine is used to relieve symptoms associated with colds and flu, such as nasal congestion, fever, headaches, and muscle pain. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic, while pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that reduces inflammation and nasal mucosa congestion.

This combination is indicated for common colds or sinusitis, providing both pain and fever relief as well as clearing the airways. Pseudoephedrine works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing congestion, while acetylsalicylic acid combats inflammation and general discomfort.

It is important to use this combination as directed by a doctor or pharmacist, as pseudoephedrine may cause side effects such as increased blood pressure, insomnia, or agitation. Additionally, this combination is not recommended for individuals with severe hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or gastric ulcers.
