Humexlib Etat Grippal Sans Sucre Édulcorée À L’aspartam (Pheniramine Maleate, Ascorbic Acid, Paracetamol)

Humexlib Etat Grippal is indicated for symptomatic relief of several common cold and influenza manifestations, providing a multi‑component approach to improve comfort during the acute phase.

• Temporary reduction of fever and chills.
• Relief of headache and minor body aches.
• Alleviation of nasal congestion and runny nose.
• Decrease of sneezing and itchy eyes associated with mild allergic responses.
• Support of overall comfort during early stages of viral upper respiratory infection.
• Mild soothing of sore throat discomfort.
• Helps reduce general malaise and fatigue.

• Pheniramine maleate acts as an H1‑histamine receptor antagonist, blocking the action of histamine released during allergic and inflammatory responses, which reduces nasal congestion, sneezing and itching. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) lowers fever and alleviates pain by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, decreasing prostaglandin synthesis. Ascorbic acid contributes antioxidant activity and participates in enzymatic reactions that support normal immune function, potentially aiding recovery.

Like most combination cold remedies, Humexlib Etat Grippal may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common

• Drowsiness or mild sedation.
• Dry mouth or throat.
• Nausea or mild stomach upset.
• Headache.
• Mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as indigestion.
• Transient blurred vision.
• Mild ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
• Slight increase in sweating.

Serious

• Allergic skin reactions such as rash, itching or swelling.
• Severe dizziness or fainting.
• Signs of liver stress, including dark urine or jaundice.
• Rapid heartbeat or palpitations.
• Severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome (rare).
• Significant drop in blood pressure.
• Acute liver failure (very rare).
• Severe allergic anaphylaxis.

When using Humexlib Etat Grippal, certain precautions should be observed to minimize risk and ensure safe use.

• Avoid use if you have known hypersensitivity to pheniramine, paracetamol, ascorbic acid or any excipients.
• Use caution in individuals with liver disease, as paracetamol is metabolized hepatically.
• Consider potential drowsiness; refrain from operating machinery or driving until you know how the product affects you.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of paracetamol from all sources.
• Patients with glaucoma or urinary retention should discuss use with a physician.
• Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of liver toxicity.

Humexlib Etat Grippal can interact with other medicines; reviewing potential interactions helps avoid adverse effects.

Avoid

• Other products containing paracetamol or acetaminophen, to prevent cumulative liver toxicity.
• Strong sedatives, antihistamines, or alcohol, which may intensify drowsiness.
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) taken within 14 days, due to possible additive antihistaminic effects.
• CYP450 enzyme inhibitors such as fluconazole, which may increase pheniramine levels.

Use with caution

• Warfarin or other anticoagulants, as paracetamol may affect clotting parameters.
• Antidepressants such as SSRIs, which can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with paracetamol.
• Medications that lower seizure threshold, because pheniramine may lower it further.
• Kidney impairment may require dose adjustment of paracetamol.
