The active ingredients may interact with other medicines; be aware of the following.

Avoid: - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or recent MAOI therapy. - Other decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine) that may increase blood pressure. - Additional paracetamol‑containing products, which can raise risk of liver toxicity.
