special instructions
The drug should not be taken simultaneously with other drugs containing paracetamol, as well as other non-narcotic analgesics (metamizole sodium), NSAIDs (acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen), with other drugs to relieve symptoms of colds and flu, sympathomimetics (such as decongestants, appetite suppressants , amphetamine-like psychostimulants), barbiturates, anticonvulsants, rifampicin and chloramphenicol. When conducting tests to determine uric acid and blood glucose levels, you should inform your doctor about the use of Coldrex® Junior, because the drug may distort the results of laboratory tests assessing the concentration of glucose and uric acid. Before taking the drug, you should consult a doctor if: - taking metoclopramide, domperidone (used to eliminate nausea and vomiting) or cholestyramine, used to reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood; - taking medications to reduce blood clotting (for example, warfarin); - following a low sodium diet - each sachet contains 0.12 g of sodium. To avoid toxic liver damage, paracetamol should not be combined with drugs containing ethanol. Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and machinery If dizziness occurs, the patient should refrain from driving or other potentially hazardous activities that require concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Paracetamol, when taken for a long time, enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants (warfarin and other coumarins), which increases the risk of bleeding. Occasional administration of a single dose of the drug does not have a significant effect on the effect of indirect anticoagulants. Inducers of microsomal oxidation enzymes in the liver (barbiturates, diphenin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, zidovudine, phenytoin, ethanol, flumecinol, phenylbutazone and tricyclic antidepressants) increase the risk of hepatotoxicity in overdoses and concomitant use with paracetamol. Microsomal oxidation inhibitors (cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of diuretics. Metoclopramide and domperidone increase, and cholestyramine reduces the rate of absorption of paracetamol. Paracetamol enhances the effects of MAO inhibitors, sedatives, ethanol. The simultaneous use of paracetamol and alcoholic beverages increases the risk of developing liver damage and acute pancreatitis. Phenylephrine when taken with MAO inhibitors can lead to increased blood pressure. Phenylephrine reduces the effectiveness of beta-blockers and other antihypertensive drugs (including debrisoquine, guanethidine, reserpine, methyldopa), increases the risk of developing arterial hypertension and disorders of the cardiovascular system. Tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) enhance the sympathomimetic effects of phenylephrine and may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects. The simultaneous administration of halothane with phenylephrine increases the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmia. Concomitant use of the drug and ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and methylsergide) increases the risk of ergotism. Antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, phenothiazine derivatives increase the risk of developing urinary retention, dry mouth, and constipation. Concomitant use of glucocorticosteroids with phenylephrine increases the risk of developing glaucoma. Concomitant use of digoxin and other cardiac glycosides increases the risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias and heart attack. Concomitant use of phenylephrine with sympathomimetic amines may increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects. Ascorbic acid, when used simultaneously with iron preparations, due to its restorative properties, converts ferric iron into divalent iron, which helps improve its absorption. When used concomitantly, ascorbic acid increases iron excretion in patients receiving deferoxamine. When used simultaneously with barbiturates and primidone, the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine increases. Ascorbic acid in high doses can reduce urine pH, which, when used simultaneously, reduces the tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants. When used simultaneously, acetylsalicylic acid reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by about a third. When used simultaneously with warfarin, the effects of warfarin may be reduced. When used simultaneously with tetracycline, the excretion of ascorbic acid increases.
Contraindications

Metoclopramide and domperidone increase the rate of absorption of paracetamol, and cholestyramine reduces it.
Overdose
Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, pale skin, arrhythmia. After 1-2 days, symptoms of liver damage may appear. In severe cases, liver failure and coma develop. In case of overdose (even if the child feels well), the risk of delayed serious liver damage should be taken into account. Treatment: If you suspect poisoning, you should immediately consult a doctor. During the first 4 hours of poisoning, gastric lavage is indicated. A specific antidote for paracetamol poisoning is acetylcysteine.
Overdose
In case of overdose of Coldrex® Junior (even if you feel well), the risk of delayed signs of serious liver damage should be taken into account. Symptoms caused by paracetamol: within 24 hours - pale skin, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. After 12-48 hours, signs of liver dysfunction, signs of impaired glucose metabolism and metabolic acidosis may appear. In cases of severe poisoning, severe liver failure may occur, including hepatic encephalopathy, coma and death. Acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis, which is diagnosed by severe pain in the lumbar region, hematuria and proteinuria, can develop without severe impairment of liver function. There are reports of cases of cardiac arrhythmia and pancreatitis with an overdose of paracetamol. In the early period, symptoms may be limited only to nausea and vomiting and may not reflect the severity of the overdose or the risk of damage to internal organs. Treatment: within the first hour after the expected overdose, it is advisable to administer activated carbon orally. 4 or more hours after the suspected overdose, it is necessary to determine the concentration of paracetamol in plasma (earlier determination of paracetamol concentration may be unreliable). A specific antidote for paracetamol poisoning is acetylcysteine. Treatment with acetylcysteine can be carried out up to 24 hours after taking paracetamol, however, the maximum hepatoprotective effect can be obtained in the first 8 hours after an overdose. After this, the effectiveness of the antidote drops sharply. If necessary, acetylcysteine can be administered intravenously. In the absence of vomiting, an alternative option (if it is not possible to quickly obtain hospital care) is to prescribe methionine orally. Treatment of patients with severe liver dysfunction 24 hours after taking paracetamol should be carried out in conjunction with specialists from a toxicology center or a specialized liver disease department. Symptoms caused by phenylephrine: irritability, headache, dizziness, insomnia, increased blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, increased excitability, reflex bradycardia. In severe cases of overdose, hallucinations, confusion, convulsions, and arrhythmias may develop. Treatment: symptomatic therapy, for severe arterial hypertension, the use of alpha-blockers such as phentolamine. Symptoms caused by ascorbic acid: ascorbic acid in high doses (more than 3000 mg) can cause temporary osmotic diarrhea and gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, stomach discomfort. Manifestations of an overdose of ascorbic acid can be classified as those caused by severe liver damage as a result of an overdose of paracetamol. Treatment: symptomatic, forced diuresis.

pharmachologic effect
A combined product whose effect is determined by its constituent components.
Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic. Its mechanism of action is believed to be the suppression of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily in the central nervous system. The absence of suppression of peripheral prostaglandin synthesis gives the drug significant pharmacological properties, such as the preservation of protective prostaglandins in the gastrointestinal tract. This property of paracetamol makes the drug particularly suitable for patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease (for example, patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or elderly patients) or patients taking concomitant medications in which suppression of peripheral prostaglandin synthesis may be undesirable. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic agent, the action of which is aimed at stimulating adrenergic receptors (mainly α-adrenergic receptors), which leads to a reduction in swelling of the nasal mucosa and easier nasal breathing. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) replenishes the increased need for vitamin C during colds and flu, especially in the initial stages of the disease, since vitamin C reserves in these conditions can be depleted and appetite decreases. Ascorbic acid is an electron donor (reducing and oxidizing agent), and perhaps all its biochemical and molecular properties may be due to this function. Pharmacokinetics Absorption and distribution Paracetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Plasma protein binding is minimal when used at therapeutic concentrations. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is unevenly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are no data on the distribution of phenylephrine. Ascorbic acid is quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. The connection with blood plasma proteins is 25%. Metabolism Paracetamol is metabolized primarily in the liver. Phenylephrine hydrochloride undergoes primary metabolism by monoamine oxidases in the intestine and liver. Thus, when administered orally, the bioavailability of phenylephrine is reduced. There are no data on the metabolism of ascorbic acid. Excretion Paracetamol is excreted by the kidneys in the form of metabolites, mainly glucuronide and sulfate conjugates; less than 5% of the dose taken is excreted unchanged. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is excreted almost entirely by the kidneys in the form of sulfate conjugates. When used in doses exceeding the body's needs for ascorbic acid, ascorbic acid is excreted by the kidneys in the form of metabolites.
Indications for use
Coldrex MaxGrip is used in adults as a temporary remedy to relieve cold and flu symptoms, including: - fever; - headache; - chills; - pain in joints and muscles; - pain in the sinuses and nasal congestion; - sore throat

When taking ascorbic acid more than 600 mg/day, moderate pollakiuria is possible. If any of the listed adverse reactions occur, stop taking the drug immediately and consult a doctor as soon as possible. If any of the adverse reactions indicated in the instructions worsen or you notice other adverse reactions not listed in the instructions, notify your doctor.
Overdose
The drug should be taken only in recommended doses! If you suspect an overdose, even if you feel well, you must stop using the drug and consult a doctor immediately, because There is a risk of delayed serious liver damage and hospitalization may be required. Overdose is usually caused by paracetamol. Paracetamol Symptoms An overdose of paracetamol may cause liver failure, which may lead to the need for a liver transplant or death. Within 24 hours the following are possible: pale skin, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. Clinical signs of liver damage usually develop after 24–48 hours and reach a maximum after 4–6 days. Signs of impaired glucose metabolism and metabolic acidosis may occur. Toxic effects in adults are possible after taking more than 10 g of paracetamol. Acute pancreatitis has been observed, usually with liver dysfunction and liver toxicity. Acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis, which is diagnosed by severe pain in the lumbar region, hematuria and proteinuria, can develop without severe impairment of liver function. There are reports of cases of cardiac arrhythmia with an overdose of paracetamol. Taking 5 g or more of paracetamol can lead to liver damage in patients with the following risk factors: - long-term treatment with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, rifampicin, St. John's wort, or other drugs that stimulate liver enzymes; - regular consumption of alcohol in excess quantities; - glutathione deficiency (due to malnutrition, cystic fibrosis, HIV infection, starvation, exhaustion). At the first signs of an overdose, you should immediately consult a doctor, even in the absence of clear symptoms of poisoning. In the early period, symptoms may be limited only to nausea and vomiting and may not reflect the severity of the overdose or the risk of damage to internal organs. Treatment During the first hour after a suspected overdose, it is advisable to administer activated carbon orally. Four or more hours after the suspected overdose, it is necessary to determine the concentration of paracetamol in the blood plasma (earlier determination of the concentration of paracetamol may be unreliable). Treatment with acetylcysteine can be carried out up to 24 hours after taking paracetamol, however, the maximum hepatoprotective effect can be obtained in the first 8 hours after an overdose. After this, the effectiveness of the antidote drops sharply. If necessary, acetylcysteine can be administered intravenously. In the absence of vomiting, an alternative option (if it is not possible to quickly obtain hospital care) is to prescribe methionine orally. Treatment of patients with severe liver dysfunction 24 hours after taking paracetamol should be carried out in conjunction with specialists from a poison control center or specialized liver disease department. Phenylephrine Symptoms Symptoms of phenylephrine overdose are similar to those of side effects. In addition: irritability, headache, dizziness, insomnia, increased excitability, increased blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, reflex bradycardia. In severe cases of overdose, hallucinations, confusion, convulsions, and arrhythmias may develop. It should be borne in mind that the appearance of clinically significant symptoms of phenylephrine overdose when taking the drug is always associated with severe liver damage due to an overdose of paracetamol. Treatment Symptomatic therapy, for severe arterial hypertension, the use of alpha-blockers, such as phentolamine. Ascorbic acid Symptoms High doses of ascorbic acid (more than 3000 mg) can cause temporary osmotic diarrhea and gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, stomach discomfort. It should be borne in mind that the appearance of clinically significant symptoms of an overdose of ascorbic acid when taking the drug is always associated with severe liver damage due to an overdose of paracetamol. Treatment: Symptomatic, forced diuresis.
Interaction with other drugs
Potentially clinically significant drug interactions are presented below (see sections “Contraindications” and “Special Instructions”). Paracetamol, when taken regularly over a long period of time, enhances the effect of warfarin and other coumarins, which increases the risk of bleeding. Occasional administration of a single dose of the drug does not have a significant effect on their effect. Inducers of microsomal oxidation enzymes in the liver (barbiturates, diphenin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, zidovudine, phenytoin, ethanol, flumecinol, phenylbutazone and tricyclic antidepressants) increase the risk of hepatotoxicity in overdoses and concomitant use with paracetamol. Microsomal oxidation inhibitors (cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of diuretics. Metoclopramide and domperidone increase, and cholestyramine reduces the rate of absorption of paracetamol. Paracetamol enhances the effects of MAO inhibitors, sedatives, ethanol. The simultaneous use of paracetamol and alcoholic beverages increases the risk of developing liver damage and acute pancreatitis. Phenylephrine when taken with MAO inhibitors can lead to increased blood pressure. Phenylephrine may reduce the effectiveness of beta-blockers and other antihypertensive drugs (including drugs such as debrisoquine, guanethidine, reserpine, methyldopa), and increases the risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. Tricyclic antidepressants enhance the sympathomimetic effect of phenylephrine and may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects. Concomitant use of halothane with phenylephrine increases the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmia. Phenylephrine reduces the hypotensive effect of guanethidine, which, in turn, enhances the alpha-adrenergic stimulating activity of phenylephrine. Antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, phenothiazine derivatives increase the risk of developing urinary retention, dry mouth, and constipation. Concomitant use of glucocorticosteroids with phenylephrine increases the risk of developing glaucoma. Concomitant use of digoxin and other cardiac glycosides may increase the risk of heart rhythm disturbances and heart attack. Concomitant use of phenylephrine and ergot alkaloids (eg, ergotamine and methysergide) may increase the risk of ergotism. Concomitant use of phenylephrine with sympathomimetic amines may increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects. Ascorbic acid increases the risk of developing crystalluria during treatment with salicylates and short-acting sulfonamides, slows down the excretion of acids by the kidneys, increases the excretion of drugs that have an alkaline reaction (including alkaloids), and reduces the concentration of oral contraceptives in the blood. Ethanol contributes to the development of acute pancreatitis. Myelotoxic drugs enhance the hematotoxicity of the drug.
special instructions
You should consult your doctor if symptoms worsen, persist for more than 5 days, or if you have a high fever, skin rash, or persistent headache. The drug should not be taken simultaneously with other paracetamol-containing drugs, as well as non-narcotic analgesics, NSAIDs (metamizole sodium, acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, etc.), drugs to eliminate the symptoms of colds and flu, sympathomimetics (decongestants), drugs that regulate appetite , amphetamine-like psychostimulants, barbiturates, antiepileptic drugs, rifampicin, chloramphenicol. To avoid toxic liver damage, the drug should not be combined with ethanol-containing drugs and drinks, or taken by people prone to chronic alcohol consumption. Concomitant liver disease increases the risk of further liver damage while taking the drug. When taking the drug in patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, there is a high risk of overdose. When performing tests to determine uric acid and blood glucose levels, tell your doctor about the use of Coldrex MaxGrip, as the drug may distort the results of laboratory tests that assess the concentration of glucose and uric acid. Patients with glutathione deficiency due to an eating disorder, cystic fibrosis, HIV infection, starvation, malnutrition are susceptible to overdose, so precautions must be taken and it is recommended to consult a doctor before taking the drug. Cases of liver failure/impaired liver function have been reported with a small overdose of paracetamol (5 g or more) in patients with low glutathione levels, in particular in extremely malnourished patients suffering from anorexia, chronic alcoholism, patients with a low body mass index or sepsis. Use of the drug in patients with low levels of glutathione, for example, with sepsis, may increase the risk of developing metabolic acidosis, accompanied by symptoms of rapid, difficult breathing (feeling short of breath, shortness of breath), nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite. If these symptoms occur simultaneously, you should immediately consult a doctor. Before taking Coldrex MaxGrip, you should consult your doctor if you are taking: - warfarin or other indirect anticoagulants to thin the blood; - metoclopramide, domperidone (used to relieve nausea and vomiting) or cholestyramine, used to lower blood cholesterol. Each sachet contains 0.12 g sodium, this should be taken into account in patients on a hyposodium diet
