Melhoral

Acetylsalicylic acid, the active ingredient in Melhoral, is an analgesic (NSAID) combination presented as an oral tablet for oral use in the European market. It relieves mild to moderate pain, reduces fever, and is commonly used for headache relief in adults.

The company offers both bulk and unit‑dose packaging options to meet diverse procurement needs.

Melhoral, a combination analgesic containing acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine, is used to manage pain and fever through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and central nervous system stimulation. - Headache: provides rapid relief by reducing inflammation and enhancing analgesic effect, useful for tension‑type and occasional migraine attacks. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature by blocking prostaglandin‑mediated thermoregulation in the hypothalamus. - Mild to moderate pain: alleviates discomfort from dental, musculoskeletal or postoperative sources through combined anti‑inflammatory and stimulant actions.

Adverse reactions to Melhoral may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset. - Gastric discomfort: irritation of the stomach lining. - Headache: paradoxical headache in some users. - Insomnia: difficulty sleeping due to caffeine.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding: serious bleeding or ulceration. - Allergic reactions: rash, itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis. - Renal impairment: reduced kidney function with prolonged use.

Before using Melhoral, consider the following precautions to minimize risks. - Contraindication: avoid in individuals with known hypersensitivity to aspirin or caffeine. - Bleeding risk: use with caution in patients with peptic ulcer disease or anticoagulant therapy. - Asthma: may exacerbate aspirin‑induced asthma; monitor respiratory symptoms. - Pregnancy: safety not established; consult healthcare professional before use during pregnancy. - Children: not recommended for children under 12 years due to risk of Reye’s syndrome. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Melhoral can interact with several medicines; awareness of these interactions helps ensure safe use.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen): additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding potential. - Corticosteroids: enhanced risk of gastric ulceration.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may reduce diuretic efficacy. - Antihypertensives: caffeine can diminish blood pressure‑lowering effect. - Lithium: caffeine may increase lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: aspirin can reduce renal clearance, raising toxicity.
