WARNINGS

Instruct the patient to contact their doctor before combining any other medication. Use of the product is not recommended if the patient is being treated with anti-inflammatory drugs.

SIDE EFFECTS
Skin reactions of various types and severity have been reported with the use of paracetamol, including cases of erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and epidermal necrolysis. Hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema, laryngeal edema, and anaphylactic shock have been reported. Additionally, the following adverse reactions have been reported: thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, agranulocytosis, liver function abnormalities and hepatitis, renal disorders (acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, hematuria, anuria), gastrointestinal reactions, and dizziness. Sympathomimetics (phenylephrine) may occasionally cause skin irritation, tachycardia, hypertension, and, much more rarely, nausea, vomiting, or anorexia. Reporting suspected adverse reactions that occur after the medicinal product has been authorized is important, as it allows for continuous monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING
Use during pregnancy is not contraindicated but requires caution; the preparation should be administered during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if clearly needed.

INDICATIONS
Symptomatic treatment of influenza, colds, and related feverish and painful conditions, with decongestant action on the upper respiratory tract.

INTERACTIONS
The hepatotoxic effect of paracetamol may be enhanced by the use of other drugs that affect the liver. Use with extreme caution and under close monitoring during chronic treatment with drugs that can induce hepatic monooxygenase activity or in case of exposure to substances that can have this effect (e.g., rifampicin, cimetidine, antiepileptics such as glutethimide, phenobarbital, carbamazepine). Paracetamol increases the half-life of chloramphenicol. The product taken in high doses can enhance the effect of coumarin anticoagulants. Phenylephrine can antagonize the effect of beta-blockers and antihypertensives and can enhance the action of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Interference with some laboratory tests: Paracetamol administration may interfere with the determination of uric acid levels (using the phosphotungstic acid method) and blood glucose levels (using the glucose oxidase-peroxidase method).
