Noflu 20 Tablets

Noflu 20 Tablets

Description:

Noflu 20 Tablets is an oral cold and flu combination medicine formulated to relieve multiple symptoms of common cold, influenza, and allergic rhinitis. It contains paracetamol (acetaminophen) for pain and fever reduction, pseudoephedrine as a nasal decongestant, and chlorpheniramine as an antihistamine to control allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. Manufactured by Kahira, this multi‑symptom flu tablet is suitable for adults and older children as directed by a physician and is commonly used in Egypt for fast and effective relief of cold and flu symptoms.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms associated with common cold and influenza (flu), including fever, headache, body aches, and sore throat pain.
• Treatment of nasal congestion and sinus pressure due to cold, flu, or upper respiratory tract infections.
• Relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and watery eyes.
• Adjunctive relief in hay fever and other upper respiratory allergies.
• May help reduce discomfort from mild sinusitis-related congestion when used as directed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – exact strength per tablet not specified in available data (commonly used as an analgesic and antipyretic).
• Pseudoephedrine – exact strength per tablet not specified in available data (sympathomimetic nasal decongestant that reduces nasal and sinus congestion).
• Chlorpheniramine – exact strength per tablet not specified in available data (histamine H1 antagonist antihistamine that relieves allergy symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose).
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients not specified in available information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as directed on the package insert or by your physician or pharmacist.
• Adults and adolescents: Typical regimens for similar cold and flu combinations are 1 tablet every 6–8 hours as needed, without exceeding the maximum daily dose of paracetamol. However, the exact recommended dose for Noflu is not specified in the available data; always follow local product labeling or medical advice.
• Children: Use only under medical supervision. Dose and frequency must be adjusted according to age and body weight as directed by a pediatrician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Can generally be taken with or without food; taking with food may reduce gastric discomfort in sensitive individuals.
• Do not use for more than a few days (usually 3–5 days) for fever or pain, or more than 7 days for nasal congestion, unless directed by a doctor.
• Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of paracetamol from all sources (including other pain or cold medicines) to avoid serious liver damage.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from fever and pain (headache, muscle aches, joint pain) associated with cold and flu due to the action of paracetamol.
• Reduces nasal and sinus congestion, making breathing easier and improving sleep quality during colds and flu, thanks to pseudoephedrine.
• Controls allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes through chlorpheniramine’s antihistaminic effect.
• Offers convenient multi-symptom relief in a single tablet, reducing the need for multiple separate medications.
• Helps improve overall comfort and daily functioning during episodes of common cold, influenza, and allergic rhinitis when used as directed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, chlorpheniramine, or any of the excipients in the product.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, or serious cardiovascular disorders due to the vasocressor effect of pseudoephedrine.
• Contraindicated in patients taking or who have taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within the last 14 days, due to risk of severe hypertensive reactions.
• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment, chronic alcohol use, or hepatic disease because of the risk of paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, urinary retention, or respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD.
• May cause drowsiness or dizziness due to chlorpheniramine; avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid concomitant use with other products containing paracetamol, decongestants, or antihistamines to prevent overdose or additive side effects.
• Alcohol consumption should be limited or avoided while taking this product as it may increase the risk of liver damage and enhance sedative effects.

• Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, dry nose or throat, mild gastrointestinal upset (nausea, stomach discomfort), or headache.
• Less common side effects can include insomnia, nervousness, palpitations, increased heart rate, or elevated blood pressure due to pseudoephedrine.
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing) are rare but require immediate medical attention.
