Patients’ daily lives are impacted by cold and flu symptoms

Cold and flu symptoms can have a major impact:

Impact on daily life

Performance reduction

Reduced performance, mood, reaction time, and cognitive performance, was reported.^13,15-17

The Panadol range is specially formulated for clinically proven relief from the symptoms of colds and flu^1-10

Paracetamol

Paracetamol is an over-the-counter drug used for pain relief and fever. It provides effective and sustained fever control, which starts to relieve fever in 30 minutes for up to 6 hours.³

Pseudoephedrine

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug that acts on the adrenergic receptors and causes vasoconstriction of the muscles lining the walls of small blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. By contracting the blood vessels, pseudoephedrine increases the patency of the airways and causes a decrease in the symptoms of nasal congestion.^5,18

Phenylephrine hydrochloride

Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic decongestant that has a potent vasoconstrictive effect on the capillaries in the nasal lining, which in turn leads to a reduction in the swelling of the nasal mucosa, thereby reducing congestion.⁶

Chlorpheniramine

Chlorpheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine used to relieve a runny nose and sneezing symptoms, to help patients sleep restfully.¹⁹

Caffeine

Caffeine is an analgesic adjuvant for paracetamol that increases mental alertness and improves wakefulness.^23-25

Ascorbic acid

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is an essential component of the human diet. It is included to supplement dietary intake of Vitamin C. This is particularly valuable in the early stages of acute viral infections, e.g., the common cold, as Vitamin C reserves may be low at this time and the appetite poor.²⁷

The Panadol range offers clinically proven solutions tailored to individual patient needs^1–10
