pharmachologic effect

Pharmacological action - anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, vasoconstrictive, antihistamine.

Pharmacodynamics

Combined drug, the effect of which is due to its active components.

Acetylsalicylic acid has an analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory effect, which is due to inhibition of COX enzymes involved in the synthesis of PG. Acetylsalicylic acid inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the synthesis of thromboxane A2.

Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic and, having a vasoconstrictive effect, reduces edema of the mucous membranes of the sinuses of the nose, thereby facilitating breathing.

Chlorpheniramine belongs to the group of antihistamines, it alleviates symptoms such as sneezing and lacrimation.

Indications

To relieve symptoms of colds, acute respiratory infections, flu accompanied by fever, chills, headache and muscle pain, runny nose and / or nasal congestion, sore throat and sneezing.

Sometimes it is possible:

Acetylsalicylic acid

The body as a whole: hyperhidrosis.

On the part of the intestine: nausea, indigestion, vomiting, stomach and duodenum ulcers; gastrointestinal bleeding, incl. hidden (black chair).

Allergic reactions: urticaria, exanthematous skin rash, angioedema (Quincke's edema); runny nose, bronchospasm and shortness of breath;

On the part of the blood system: hypoprothrombinemia.

From the central nervous system and sensory organs: dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, hearing loss.

From the side of the urinary system: renal failure, acute interstitial glomerulonephritis.

In rare cases (<1%) - toxic liver damage, especially in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; anemia, Reye's syndrome in children.

Phenylephrine

From the central nervous system and sensory organs: headache; insomnia, nausea, excitability, anxiety, dry mouth. In rare cases - severe headache, inadequate behavior.

From the cardiovascular system: rarely - increased blood pressure, tachycardia.

From the side of the urinary system: rarely - painful or difficult urination.

Chlorfeniramine

Organism as a whole: dry mouth; dryness of the oral and nasal mucosa, disruption of accommodation (blurred vision).

From the cardiovascular system: tachycardia.

On the part of the digestive tract: constipation.

On the part of the urinary system: retention of urination, difficulty and pain when urinating.

From the central nervous system and sensory organs: violation of attention, drowsiness, dizziness. In children and elderly patients, retardation, agitation, dizziness, anxiety, irritability are possible.

If any adverse reactions occur, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor.

Interaction

Acetylsalicylic acid

Ethyl alcohol, cimetidine and ranitidine with simultaneous use with acetylsalicylic acid increase its toxicity.

Heparin and indirect anticoagulants. With simultaneous use with acetylsalicylic acid increases the risk of bleeding by suppressing the function of platelets, displacing indirect anticoagulants from binding to plasma proteins and hypoprothrombinemia.

Corticosteroids increase the risk of secondary damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa.

When combined with zidovudine increased toxic effects of zidovudine and acetylsalicylic acid.

Acetylsalicylic acid reduces absorption of NSAIDs (indomethacin, phenoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, piroxicam).

Increases the concentration of phenytoin because of its displacement from binding to proteins.

Enhances the hypoglycemic effect of antidiabetic drugs and insulin due to the fact that acetylsalicylic acid in high dose has hypoglycemic properties and displaces the derivatives of sulfonylureas from binding to plasma proteins.

Strengthens the ototoxic effect of vancomycin.

Strengthens the effect of methotrexate by reducing renal clearance and displacing it from binding to proteins.

Salicylates reduce the uricosuric effect of probenecid and sulfinpyrazone due to competitive tubular elimination of uric acid.

Phenylephrine

MAO inhibitors (antidepressants - tranylcypromine, moclobemide, anti-Parkinsonian drugs - selegiline). With simultaneous use with phenylephrine, it is possible to develop severe side effects in the form of intense headache, increased blood pressure and body temperature.

Beta-blockers. With simultaneous use with phenylephrine, it is possible to increase blood pressure (arterial hypertension) and severe bradycardia.

Sympathomimetics. With simultaneous use with phenylephrine, the influence of sympathomimetics on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system is enhanced. Perhaps stimulation, irritability, insomnia.

Inhalation anesthetics. The use of finylephrine before inhalation anesthesia increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia. It is necessary to stop phenylephrine treatment several days before the planned surgical treatment.

Rauwolfia alkaloids. With simultaneous use with phenylephrine, its therapeutic effect may decrease.

Caffeine. With simultaneous use with phenylephrine, the therapeutic and toxic effects of caffeine can be enhanced.

Indomethacin, bromocriptine. In isolated cases with simultaneous use with phenylephrine, severe arterial hypertension is possible.

SSRIs. With the simultaneous use with antidepressants of this group (fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline) may increase as the sensitivity of the body to sympathomimetics, and the risk of developing a serotonergic effect increases.

Reduces the hypotensive effect of such hypotensive drugs from the group of sympatholytics, like reserpine, guanethidine.

Chlorfeniramine

Alcohol, hypnotics, tranquilizers, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), analgesics of central action. Chlorpheniramine can increase their inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.

Anticholinergic drugs - atropine, antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, antiparkinsonian drugs. Chlorpheniramine enhances their anticholinergic action.

Dosing and Administration

Inside, after eating, previously dissolving the contents of the sachet in a glass of water at room temperature.

Adults and children over 15 years: 1 pack. every 6-8 hours. The maximum daily dose is 4 pack., the interval between meals is not less than 6 hours.

Duration of treatment without consulting a doctor should not exceed 5 days - when prescribed as an anesthetic and 3 days - as an antipyretic.

Overdose

Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, deterioration of hearing and sight, rapid breathing, severe headache, imbalance, pronounced drowsiness, disturbance of the heart rhythm.

Treatment: gastric lavage, the appointment of activated charcoal, symptomatic therapy.

Precautionary measures

Acetylsalicylic acid can cause bronchospasm, an attack of bronchial asthma or other hypersensitivity reactions. Risk factors are the presence of bronchial asthma, polyps of the nose, fever, chronic bronchopulmonary diseases, cases of allergy in the anamnesis (allergic rhinitis, skin rashes).

Acetylsalicylic acid can increase the tendency to bleeding, which is due to its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. This should be considered when surgical interventions are required, including minor interventions such as tooth extraction. Before surgery, to reduce bleeding during surgery and in the post-operation period, you should cancel taking the drug for 5-7 days and inform the doctor.

Children should not be prescribed drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid, because in the case of a viral infection, the risk of developing Reye syndrome increases. Symptoms of Reye's syndrome include prolonged vomiting, acute encephalopathy, and enlargement of the liver.

During treatment, it is not recommended to drink alcohol because of the increased risk of side effects from the gastrointestinal tract associated with taking acetylsalicylic acid and increasing the sedative effect of chlorpheniramine.

Due to the fact that when chlorpheniramine is used, it is possible to change the parameters of skin allergic tests, it is recommended to inform the doctor about the use of the drug and to cancel it 3 days before the skin tests.

During treatment, it is not recommended to use anesthetics, sympathomimetics, guanethidine and beta-blockers.

It is not recommended to take the drug systematically and with a preventive goal before the vaccination.

With renal insufficiency with a decreased level of albumin in the plasma, the risk of the toxic effect of the drug increases.
