PHENTA Suspension contains the following active ingredients per 5ml of suspension:

• Paracetamol 125mg
• Phenylephrine 2.5mg
• Chlorpheniramine Maleate (CPM) 2mg

Indications / Uses :

PHENTA Suspension is commonly used for the treatment of:

• Cold symptoms (such as fever, congestion, and cough).
• Sinus congestion.
• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
• Upper respiratory tract infections (associated with common cold, flu, or allergies).
• Pain relief (due to Paracetamol).
• Decongestion (due to Phenylephrine).

Mechanism of Action:

• Paracetamol: Acts centrally in the brain to reduce pain and fever. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, leading to reduced pain and fever.
• Phenylephrine: Is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to decreased swelling and congestion.
• Chlorpheniramine Maleate: Is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine (a substance released during allergic reactions). This reduces symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

Dosage:

• The typical recommended dose for children should be prescribed by the healthcare provider based on age and weight. Generally:
  • For children aged 2 to 6 years: 5 ml (one teaspoon) every 4-6 hours as needed, but not more than 4 doses in 24 hours.
  • For children aged 6 to 12 years: 10 ml (two teaspoons) every 4-6 hours as needed, but not more than 4 doses in 24 hours.

Note: Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or the guidance of a doctor.

Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or dizziness (due to Chlorpheniramine Maleate).
• Gastrointestinal disturbances (such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain).
• Increased heart rate (due to Phenylephrine).
• Allergic reactions (such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing).
• Headache.
• Sleep disturbances (in some cases, due to the antihistamine).

If any side effects are severe or persistent, it's important to contact a healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions:

• Other antihistamines: May increase sedative effects.
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): When taken with Phenylephrine, it may lead to an increase in blood pressure or other serious cardiovascular effects.
• Antihypertensive drugs: Phenylephrine may reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure-lowering medications.
• Alcohol: Can increase drowsiness and sedation when taken with Chlorpheniramine.
• Other pain medications (including NSAIDs like ibuprofen) with Paracetamol may lead to increased risk of liver damage.
