Description

🩺 What’s Inside & What It’s Used For

Each tablet contains a combination of five active ingredients:

  • Aceclofenac (100 mg) – a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory (pain & inflammation relief)
  • Paracetamol (325 mg) – for fever and general pain
  • Phenylephrine (5 mg) – decongests the nasal passages
  • Caffeine (25 mg) – helps reduce drowsiness and boosts the analgesic effect
  • Cetirizine (10 mg) – a non‑sedating antihistamine for allergy symptoms (DawaiWala)

Intended uses include:

  • Fever, headache, body aches
  • Nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing
  • General cold, flu, and allergic rhinitis symptom relief (Home, DawaiWala)

🕰️ How to Use

  • Adults/children (as prescribed): typically 1 tablet once or twice daily, after meals, with water to avoid stomach irritation (DawaiWala).
  • Missed dose? Take as soon as you remember. Do not double dose (PharmEasy).

⚠️ Common & Serious Side Effects

Common side effects include:

  • Sleepiness, dizziness
  • Dry mouth, nausea, upset stomach
  • Indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, gas (DawaiWala, PharmEasy)

Less frequent but more serious reactions:

  • Allergic responses – rash, itching, swelling, breathing problems
  • Increased blood pressure (due to phenylephrine)
  • Risk of liver damage (from paracetamol overuse or prolonged use) (DawaiWala)

Rare but critical signs (seek immediate medical help):

  • Severe stomach pain or blood in stool or vomit
  • Persistent high fever, escalating cough, prolonged symptoms beyond a week
  • Signs of severe allergic reaction (Drugs.com, DawaiWala, DawaiWala)

⚠️ Precautions & Interactions

  • Gastrointestinal: May worsen ulcers or gastritis—use cautiously in those with GI issues (1mg).
  • Liver & kidney: Exercise caution in patients with existing liver or kidney impairment (1mg).
  • Blood pressure: Phenylephrine can raise blood pressure—avoid if hypertensive or on BP meds.
  • Sedation: Cetirizine may cause drowsiness; aceclofenac can affect alertness—be cautious when driving (1mg).
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while using this tablet—it may worsen liver strain and drowsiness (1mg).
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor—effects are not well-studied and some components aren’t recommended (1mg, 1mg).
  • Drug interactions: Combining with other NSAIDs, antihistamines, stimulants, or decongestants can increase side-effect risks (WebMD, 1mg).
