Important instructions
What should you consider?
- The ability to react can also be impaired when used as intended, especially in higher doses or in combination with alcohol. Be particularly careful when driving or using machines (including household ones) that could injure you.
- The habitual use of painkillers can lead to permanent kidney damage. If several painkillers are combined, or if one painkiller contains several active ingredients, the risk increases.
- Attention: Regular or high alcohol consumption can lead to life-threatening conditions due to possible liver damage if the drug is also used.
- Be careful if you are allergic to painkillers!
- Be careful if you are allergic to dyes (e.g. quinoline yellow with the E number E 104)!
- The drug contains alcohol and is therefore a risk for people with liver disease, alcoholics, epileptics, people with brain damage, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children.
- Beware of intolerance to sucrose. If you have to follow a diabetic diet, you should consider the sugar content.
- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already using before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
How do the ingredients of the drug work?
Doxylamine: The active ingredient blocks receptors for a specific messenger substance called histamine. Through this blockade, he suppresses a vasodilatation and increased blood flow to the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) triggered by histamine. It also has a calming effect via the same mechanism.
Dextromethorphan: The active ingredient calms the urge to cough by paralyzing the cough center in the brain. To prevent mucus from building up in the respiratory tract, the substance is only suitable if the cough is completely dry. Anyone who overdoses on the substance runs the risk of provoking a blockage in the airways or finding it difficult to breathe.
Paracetamol: The active ingredient has an analgesic and fever-reducing effect. It also has low anti-inflammatory properties. It blocks the formation of certain messenger substances in the body, so-called prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever and inflammation.
