Properties:
Combination drug.
Paracetamol is an analgesic-antipyretic. It has analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory effects. The mechanism of action is associated with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily affecting the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus.
Phenylephrine is an alpha1-adrenergic agonist that causes vasoconstriction and eliminates swelling and hyperemia of the nasal mucosa.
Indications:
Symptomatic treatment of colds and flu accompanied by fever, headache, chills, nasal congestion, sore throat and sinus pain.
Method of administration and dosage:
For internal use.
Pour the contents of 1 sachet into a mug, add half a glass of very hot water, stir thoroughly. Breathe in the hot menthol vapors for a few minutes. This inhalation will significantly ease nasal breathing. Then add cold water, if necessary, and drink warm. Dilute 1 sachet in a glass of hot water. Take a single dose every 4-6 hours, depending on age. The course of treatment is no more than 5 days.
