The combination of the various active ingredients achieves several effects: Paracetamol works against body aches and reduces fever. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supports the body's own defences. Chlorphenamine has a decongestant effect on the nasal mucosa, but it also makes you tired. Caffeine counteracts unwanted tiredness and at the same time increases the pain and fever-reducing effect of paracetamol.

Warnings

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.

- With long-term use of painkillers, headaches caused by the painkiller can occur. Talk to your doctor to prevent your headache from becoming chronic.
- Be careful if you are allergic to painkillers!
- Be careful if you are allergic to ascorbic acid (vitamin C)!
- Be careful if you are allergic to dyes (e.g. quinoline yellow with the E number E 104)!
- Beware of intolerance to lactose. 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.
