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

Phenylephrine is a selective alpha‑1 adrenergic receptor agonist. By stimulating these receptors on the smooth muscle of nasal blood vessels, it causes vasoconstriction, which reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa and opens the airway, thereby easing congestion associated with colds and allergies.

The appropriate dose of Max Strength Cold & Flu Relief Blackcurrant is determined by a qualified healthcare professional. The prescriber will consider factors such as the patient’s age, weight, overall health status, and the severity of symptoms before recommending a specific dosing regimen.

Safety data for phenylephrine and paracetamol during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Generally, paracetamol is considered low risk when used at recommended doses, but phenylephrine should be avoided unless clearly indicated by a physician. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this product.

Unlike ibuprofen‑based combinations, Max Strength Cold & Flu Relief Blackcurrant uses phenylephrine for decongestion and paracetamol for pain and fever. Ibuprofen provides anti‑inflammatory effects but does not relieve nasal congestion. The phenylephrine‑paracetamol combo may be preferred when a decongestant is specifically needed, while ibuprofen may be chosen for its anti‑inflammatory properties.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack or container, protect from moisture, humidity and direct sunlight, and ensure the packaging is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

The medication is intended for oral administration. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, preferably after a meal to minimise stomach irritation. Do not crush, chew, or dissolve the tablet unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include severe hypertension, allergic responses such as rash, urticaria or anaphylaxis, and liver function abnormalities. If any of these occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. Monitoring blood pressure is advisable for patients with pre‑existing cardiovascular conditions.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to phenylephrine, paracetamol, or any excipients should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Children under 12 years should not use it without explicit medical guidance.
