Benylin 4Flu Tablets (24)

Benylin 4Flu Tablets (24) are an over-the-counter medication designed to relieve symptoms associated with colds and flu. Here are the key points about this product:

1. Active Ingredients: Each tablet typically contains:

   • Paracetamol (500mg): A pain reliever and fever reducer that helps alleviate symptoms such as headaches, body aches, sore throat, and fever.
   • Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (12.5mg): An antihistamine that helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. It can also cause drowsiness, aiding in restful sleep.
   • Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (22.5mg): A decongestant that reduces nasal congestion and sinus pressure by shrinking blood vessels in the nasal passages.

2. Indications: Benylin 4Flu Tablets are used to provide relief from multiple cold and flu symptoms, including headache, fever, sore throat, body aches, nasal congestion, and sinus pressure. They also help reduce sneezing and runny nose.

3. Dosage and Usage: The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years old is two tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed. It is important not to exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water.

4. Considerations:

   • Daytime Use: Because diphenhydramine can cause drowsiness, caution is advised if you need to stay alert. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking this medication.
   • Consultation: Individuals with certain medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, or glaucoma) or those taking other medications should consult with a healthcare provider before using Benylin 4Flu Tablets to ensure they are safe and appropriate.

5. Precautions:

   • Avoid taking other products containing paracetamol simultaneously to prevent an overdose.
   • If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.
   • Do not use in combination with other antihistamines or decongestants unless advised by a healthcare professional.

By following the recommended usage guidelines, Benylin 4Flu Tablets can effectively help manage the discomfort and symptoms associated with colds and flu.
