Symptomatic relief of common cold and flu such as fever, headache, body aches, sore throat, runny/blocked nose, sneezing and sinus congestion

Cold and flu combination tablets typically contain an analgesic/antipyretic to reduce fever and pain along with agents that reduce nasal congestion and/or control runny nose and sneezing. Together they provide multi-symptom relief while the body recovers from the viral infection.

Take as directed by a physician/label. Swallow tablet with water; usually taken after food to reduce stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose and avoid taking with other cold/flu products containing similar ingredients (especially paracetamol).

Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, palpitations, restlessness, blurred vision

Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient. Use with caution in liver disease/alcoholism (risk of paracetamol-related liver injury), high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, enlarged prostate/urinary retention, and asthma/COPD. May cause drowsiness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Do not exceed dose or combine with other paracetamol-containing medicines. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist beyond 3 days (fever) or 5–7 days (cold) or worsen.

Alcohol (increases liver toxicity and drowsiness), other paracetamol-containing products, warfarin/other anticoagulants (with prolonged paracetamol use), MAO inhibitors and some antidepressants (with decongestants/antihistamines), sedatives/sleeping pills and opioids (increased drowsiness), antihypertensives (reduced effect with decongestants), other sympathomimetics (risk of high BP/arrhythmia)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
