Max Strength Cold & Flu Blackcurrant Flavour (Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, Paracetamol)

Paracetamol acts centrally by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemical mediators that cause pain and raise body temperature. This inhibition produces both analgesic (pain‑relieving) and antipyretic (fever‑reducing) effects, helping to alleviate headache, muscle aches and fever.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional or according to the product label. Users should follow the recommended amount, frequency and duration indicated on the packaging or as advised by a pharmacist, and should not exceed the maximum daily limit for paracetamol.

Safety data for combined paracetamol‑phenylephrine use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this product to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

The paracetamol‑phenylephrine combination offers analgesic and antipyretic effects with a nasal decongestant, similar to ibuprofen‑pseudoephedrine blends. Paracetamol generally has a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared with ibuprofen, while phenylephrine provides decongestion comparable to pseudoephedrine but may have a milder effect on blood pressure. Choice depends on individual tolerance, comorbidities and physician recommendation.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original container, protect from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not use the product after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

The product is taken orally with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, unless the label advises otherwise. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include severe hypertension or cardiovascular events due to phenylephrine, allergic reactions such as rash or angioedema, and liver injury from excessive paracetamol intake. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden high blood pressure, chest pain, severe skin reactions or signs of liver dysfunction.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol, phenylephrine or any excipients should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension, significant liver disease, or those taking monoamine‑oxidase inhibitors. Children under the age recommended on the label (often under 12 years) should not use it without medical guidance.
