Description of Alcecost Cold & Flu Tablet

The Alcecost Cold & Flu Tablet is a complete treatment for allergic rhinitis, the common cold, and flu symptoms.

This mixture helps to lessen weariness and efficiently lowers fever, discomfort, congestion, and allergy symptoms.

How to use Alcecost Cold & Flu Tablet

  • Quantity: As directed by your physician, take one tablet once or twice a day.
  • Administration: To minimize stomach irritation, swallow the pill whole with a glass of water, ideally after meals.
  • Missed Dosage: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. Don't take the missing dose if your next dose is almost due. Don't take two doses at once.

How Medicine Works

  • Aceclofenac: Lowers pain and inflammation by preventing the body from producing prostaglandins, which are specific molecules.
  • Paracetamol: By affecting the brain's heat-regulating region, it reduces fever and eases discomfort.
  • Phenylephrine: By constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, it works as a decongestant to lessen edema and congestion.
  • Caffeine: By improving absorption and lowering weariness, caffeine increases the efficacy of pain medications like Paracetamol.
  • Cetirizine: An antihistamine that reduces allergic symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose by blocking histamine receptors.

Related Warnings

Alcohol Interaction: Steer clear of alcohol when taking this drug since it may intensify the sedative effects of Cetirizine, causing excessive sleepiness, and raise the risk of liver damage (caused by Paracetamol).

Pregnancy Use: This drug should only be used during pregnancy if a doctor has recommended it and it is plainly necessary. Certain ingredients, such as cetirizine and aceclofenac, could not be advised during particular phases of pregnancy.

Use During Lactation: Use of this drug while nursing should be done with caution. Before using, speak with your doctor because some substances might harm a nursing infant through their breast milk.

Driving Impact: Cetirizine, in particular, may make Alcecost Cold & Flu Tablet users drowsy or dizzy. Until you are certain of how the drug will affect you, do not operate heavy machinery or drive.

Kidney Health Considerations: Use caution when administering to people who have impaired kidney function. Renal function may be negatively impacted by aceclofenac and paracetamol, particularly when used for extended periods of time. It could be required to modify the dosage.

Liver Health Considerations: The liver is responsible for the metabolism of paracetamol, which can lead to damage to the liver when used in excess or for an extended period of time. This medicine should be used carefully and under medical supervision in patients who have hepatic impairment.

Expert Advice

  • Consultation: Before beginning this drug, always get your doctor's approval, especially if you have any underlying medical concerns or are already taking medication.
  • Monitoring: Regular monitoring of liver and kidney function may be required if this drug is used for a prolonged period of time.
  • Drink plenty of water because certain ingredients can make your mouth and nasal passages feel dry.
