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).
