Product Use

The medicine contains three active ingredients:
Paracetamol is a painkiller and reduces your temperature when you have a fever.
Promethazine hydrochloride is an antihistamine which dries up a runny nose and aids restful sleep.
Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that helps relieve dry or tickly coughs.
Instructions
Total daily dose of paracetamol must not exceed 4000mg (including this product). Leave at least 4 hours between doses of paracetamol-containing products.
