Avoid: - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or recent MAOI therapy, due to risk of hypertensive crisis with phenylephrine. - Other products containing paracetamol or acetaminophen, which may lead to overdose. - Strong CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine) that can increase caffeine levels.

Use with caution: - Antihypertensive drugs, as phenylephrine may reduce their effectiveness. - Anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, because paracetamol can affect platelet function. - Certain antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs) that may increase bleeding risk when combined with paracetamol.
