Flurest Tablets

Flurest Tablets

Description:

Flurest Tablets are an oral cold and flu medicine formulated to relieve multiple symptoms associated with influenza, common cold, and upper respiratory tract infections. This combination product contains an analgesic/antipyretic (paracetamol), a nasal decongestant (phenylephrine), and an antihistamine (chlorpheniramine) to target fever, headache, body aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing in one convenient tablet. Manufactured by Glaxo SmithKline, Flurest is designed for short-term use in adults and children as directed by a healthcare professional to support fast, effective flu and cold symptom relief.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms of influenza and common cold such as fever, headache, and body aches.
• Reduction of nasal congestion and sinus pressure associated with upper respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, and spring catarrh.
• Relief of runny nose, sneezing, and nasal hypersecretion due to allergy or viral infections.
• Adjunctive treatment in other nasal congestive inflammatory conditions where decongestion and antihistaminic effects are required.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Paracetamol (acetaminophen) – concentration per tablet not specified in available source (commonly used as an analgesic and antipyretic).
• Phenylephrine hydrochloride – concentration per tablet not specified in available source (nasal decongestant and vasoconstrictor).
• Chlorpheniramine maleate – concentration per tablet not specified in available source (antihistamine with mild sedative effect).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as directed by your doctor or as indicated on the product packaging. The exact dose per age group is not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) and should be confirmed from the official leaflet.
• Typically taken orally with a glass of water. May be taken with or without food; taking with food can help reduce potential stomach discomfort.
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose of paracetamol from all sources (check label; usual adult maximum is 4000 mg per day, but follow local labeling and physician advice).
• Do not use for more than a few days for fever or pain, or more than 7 days for nasal congestion, unless directed by a healthcare professional.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Suitable for adults and older children only as per leaflet; not recommended for very young children unless specifically prescribed. Always check age-appropriate dosing on the package insert.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from fever and pain (headache, sore throat, muscle and body aches) associated with cold and flu.
• Reduces nasal congestion and sinus pressure, improving breathing comfort and airflow through the nasal passages.
• Controls runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes due to its antihistaminic component, helping reduce allergy-like symptoms.
• Offers multi-symptom cold and flu relief in a single tablet, reducing the need for multiple separate medications and supporting better treatment adherence.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic to paracetamol, phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine, or any of the excipients in the product.
• Contraindicated in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of stopping such treatment due to risk of serious interactions with phenylephrine.
• Use with caution in patients with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, prostatic hypertrophy, glaucoma, liver or kidney impairment, or respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• Paracetamol in high doses may cause severe liver damage. Do not use with other paracetamol-containing products to avoid overdose.
• Chlorpheniramine may cause drowsiness; avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how the medicine affects you. Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing, or if you are taking other prescription or over-the-counter medicines, especially antihypertensives, antidepressants, sedatives, or other cold and flu preparations.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• If symptoms persist for more than a few days, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, severe headache, rash, or persistent cough, seek medical advice promptly.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, dry nose or throat, mild gastrointestinal discomfort, or nausea.
• Less common side effects can include nervousness, insomnia, palpitations, increased blood pressure, or urinary retention, especially in susceptible individuals.
• Allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat), or difficulty breathing may occur and require immediate medical attention.
• Very high doses or prolonged use of paracetamol may cause serious liver problems; symptoms can include yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or unusual fatigue. Seek urgent medical care if these occur.
