Panadol Gripus is indicated for the short-term relief of symptoms of colds, chills and flu, when associated with mild to moderate pain and/or fever, nasal congestion, with an expectorant effect on productive cough.

Active substances: 500 mg of paracetamol, 6.1 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride and 100 mg of guaifenesin.

Paracetamol has both analgesic and antipyretic action, mediated mainly by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. Phenylephrine hydrochloride has a recognized nasal decongestant activity and acts by vasoconstriction to reduce edema and swelling of the nasal mucosa. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that relieves discomfort caused by coughing by increasing the volume and decreasing the viscosity of bronchial secretions. This action facilitates mucus removal and reduces bronchial tissue irritation. Consequently, it turns a non-productive cough into a cough that is more productive but less frequent.

Dosage and method of administration:

Adults, elderly and adolescents 16 years of age and older, weighing more than 50 kg: Two capsules every 4 to 6 hours as needed. The total daily dose should not exceed 6 capsules in a 24 hour period (2 capsules 3 times a day). Minimum interval between doses: 4 hours. The duration of treatment should not exceed three days. The indicated dose must not be exceeded. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration of treatment. Patients should consult a physician if symptoms persist for more than 3 days or if they worsen, or if the cough is accompanied by a high fever, rash, or persistent headache. This medicine should not be used in adults, the elderly and adolescents aged 16 years and over, who weigh less than 50 kg. For oral use only. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed.
