Frequently asked questions

What is Max Strength Cold & Flu Blackcurrant Flavour used for?+
Max Strength Cold & Flu Blackcurrant Flavour is an over‑the‑counter oral product that combines paracetamol and phenylephrine to provide symptomatic relief of fever, headache, body aches and nasal congestion associated with common cold and influenza. It is intended for self‑care use in adults and, where appropriate, older children.
How does paracetamol work in this product?+
Paracetamol acts centrally by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemical mediators that cause pain and raise body temperature. This inhibition produces both analgesic (pain‑relieving) and antipyretic (fever‑reducing) effects, helping to alleviate headache, muscle aches and fever.
What is the usual dose for this medication?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional or according to the product label. Users should follow the recommended amount, frequency and duration indicated on the packaging or as advised by a pharmacist, and should not exceed the maximum daily limit for paracetamol.
Is Max Strength Cold & Flu safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for combined paracetamol‑phenylephrine use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this product to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

How does this product compare with other cold‑flu remedies such as ibuprofen‑pseudoephedrine combinations?+
The paracetamol‑phenylephrine combination offers analgesic and antipyretic effects with a nasal decongestant, similar to ibuprofen‑pseudoephedrine blends. Paracetamol generally has a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared with ibuprofen, while phenylephrine provides decongestion comparable to pseudoephedrine but may have a milder effect on blood pressure. Choice depends on individual tolerance, comorbidities and physician recommendation.
What are the storage and handling requirements for this medication?+
Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original container, protect from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not use the product after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

The product is taken orally with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, unless the label advises otherwise. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with this medication?+
Serious risks include severe hypertension or cardiovascular events due to phenylephrine, allergic reactions such as rash or angioedema, and liver injury from excessive paracetamol intake. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden high blood pressure, chest pain, severe skin reactions or signs of liver dysfunction.
Who should not use Max Strength Cold & Flu Blackcurrant Flavour?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol, phenylephrine or any excipients should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension, significant liver disease, or those taking monoamine‑oxidase inhibitors. Children under the age recommended on the label (often under 12 years) should not use it without medical guidance.
