Grippostad C Stickpack may interact with other medicines or substances; reviewing potential interactions can help avoid reduced effectiveness or increased side‑effects.

Avoid

• Other antihistamines or sedating drugs, which can increase drowsiness.
• Additional paracetamol‑containing products, to prevent overdose.
• Stimulants such as other caffeine‑rich beverages or medications, which may raise heart rate.
• Decongestant nasal sprays containing phenylephrine, as combined stimulant effects may increase blood pressure.

Use with caution

• Alcohol, because combined central nervous system effects may increase sedation.
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or other antidepressants, due to possible additive antihistamine effects.
• Anticoagulants, as paracetamol may affect bleeding risk in high doses.
• Beta‑blockers, because caffeine can diminish their blood‑pressure‑lowering effect.
