Nurofen Cold And Flu (Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen Cold and Flu, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as a tablet for oral use. It relieves pain, reduces fever and, together with pseudoephedrine, eases nasal congestion in adults experiencing cold or flu symptoms.

GNH USA supplies Nurofen Cold and Flu as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Nurofen Cold and Flu combines an NSAID and a nasal decongestant to address multiple symptoms of upper respiratory infections.

- Common Cold and Flu: provides analgesic, antipyretic and decongestant relief of headache, fever, sore throat and nasal blockage. - Sinusitis: reduces sinus pressure and associated pain. - Musculoskeletal aches: alleviates body aches that often accompany viral infections.

Nurofen Cold and Flu may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Headache: transient discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headedness. - Insomnia: difficulty sleeping. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation. - Increased blood pressure: mild elevation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding: ulceration or hemorrhage. - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, anaphylaxis. - Hepatic injury: elevated liver enzymes. - Renal impairment: reduced kidney function. - Cardiovascular events: heart attack or stroke. - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.

Before using Nurofen Cold and Flu, consider the following safety measures. - Assess cardiovascular risk: pseudoephedrine may raise blood pressure. - Avoid in active ulcer disease: ibuprofen can irritate the gastrointestinal lining. - Check renal function: both agents may affect kidney performance. - Use with caution in pregnancy after the first trimester: NSAIDs are contraindicated and pseudoephedrine should be avoided. - Do not combine with MAO inhibitors: risk of hypertensive crisis. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Nurofen Cold and Flu can interact with several medicines; some require avoidance while others need monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - MAO inhibitors: may cause hypertensive crisis with pseudoephedrine. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): ibuprofen can increase bleeding risk. - Lithium: pseudoephedrine may raise lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Beta‑blockers: may blunt the decongestant effect of pseudoephedrine. - SSRIs: combined use can increase risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. - Alcohol: additive irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
