Coldrex - Blackcurrant Powder: Symptomatic treatment of colds

Coldrex - blackcurrant powder is a combination drug intended for the symptomatic treatment of influenza and other colds. This medicine is manufactured in the UK by Sterling Health Products Pharmaceuticals and contains a combination of active ingredients: paracetamol, phenylephrine hydrochloride and ascorbic acid.

Paracetamol is an effective analgesic and antipyretic that helps relieve pain and fever associated with cold symptoms. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is an adrenergic stimulant that constricts the blood vessels in the nasal cavity and reduces nasal congestion, making breathing easier. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, helps strengthen the immune system and helps the body fight off infection.

Coldrex - blackcurrant powder is available in powder form, which is dissolved in water before use. It has a blackcurrant flavor and is available in various varieties such as lemon powder, Coldrex MaxGripp lemon flavor, Coldrex Hotrem lemon flavor, Coldrex Hotrem lemon and honey flavor, Coldrex Hotrem blackcurrant flavor, and Flucoldex-S.

The drug should be used for flu symptoms and other colds such as headache, sore throat, runny nose, cough, muscle pain and fever. However, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before use, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or if you are taking other medications.

Coldrex blackcurrant powder has some contraindications. It is not recommended to take the drug simultaneously with other paracetamol-containing drugs.
