Major Interactions (Avoid): - MAO inhibitors: may cause hypertensive crisis when combined with phenylephrine. - Other phenylephrine or decongestant products: risk of excessive vasoconstriction and elevated blood pressure. - Warfarin: paracetamol can enhance anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Alcohol: combined use may increase liver strain and risk of hepatotoxicity. - Other hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., isoniazid, certain antiepileptics): monitor liver function. - Antihypertensive agents (beta‑blockers, ACE inhibitors): phenylephrine may reduce their efficacy.
