Uses of Actifed P Cold Tablet

Actifed P Cold Tablet is used for short-term relief of common cold and flu symptoms, including fever, headache, body aches, a blocked or runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes. It eases symptoms while the body fights the infection but does not shorten the illness or treat bacterial infections.

How Actifed P Cold Tablet works

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that narrows swollen blood vessels in the nose and sinuses to clear congestion. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that dries up a runny nose and reduces sneezing, and it can cause drowsiness.

Possible side effects

Some side effects are common with Actifed P Cold Tablet, and they include:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Difficulty sleeping or restlessness
• Nausea

Stop taking it and get medical help if you have palpitations, chest pain, a sudden severe headache, confusion, sudden stomach pain or bleeding from the bottom, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not take any other medicine containing paracetamol at the same time, as an overdose can cause serious liver damage.
• Avoid it if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma or difficulty passing urine, or have taken an MAOI antidepressant in the last two weeks.
