About this active substance

Paracetamol + dextromethorphan + chlorpheniramine + pseudoephedrine is a combination for multiple cold or flu symptoms: fever, aches, dry cough, runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, dextromethorphan suppresses cough, chlorpheniramine reduces allergic-type symptoms, and pseudoephedrine helps open blocked nasal passages.

It is taken by mouth according to the leaflet and only for short-term use. Do not combine it with other cold, flu or pain products containing paracetamol, dextromethorphan, antihistamines or decongestants. Paracetamol overdose can be serious, and pseudoephedrine can increase blood pressure or pulse. Read labels of all medicines used at the same time.

Side effects may include sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, palpitations, restlessness, insomnia, increased blood pressure or urinary retention. Avoid alcohol and do not drive if drowsy. It is generally unsuitable in severe high blood pressure, significant heart disease, glaucoma, treatment with MAO inhibitors or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism.

Seek medical help if chest pain, irregular heartbeat, breathing difficulty, confusion, severe sleepiness, seizures, jaundice, widespread rash or persistent fever occurs.
