Lemocalm Cold And Flu Relief (Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, Paracetamol)

Lemocalm Cold And Flu Relief combines phenylephrine and paracetamol to address symptoms of upper respiratory infections.

• Nasal congestion: reduces swelling of nasal passages and eases breathing.
• Fever: lowers elevated body temperature.
• Headache and body aches: alleviates pain associated with cold and flu.

• Phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as an alpha‑1 adrenergic agonist, causing vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa and decreasing congestion. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) inhibits central cyclooxygenase activity, reducing prostaglandin synthesis to lower pain perception and fever. The combined actions provide rapid relief of typical cold and flu symptoms.

• Dizziness: transient light‑headedness reported by some users.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Warfarin: paracetamol can enhance anticoagulant effect.
• Hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., isoniazid): may increase liver toxicity.
• Alcohol: combined use can raise risk of liver injury.
