Tantum Grip 600 mg/10 mg Lemon 10 sachets

Tantum Grip contains a combination of active ingredients to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu, including relieving pain, headaches, sore throats, nasal congestion, and reducing fever. Paracetamol is a well-known painkiller (analgesic). It is effective for pain, including headaches, and can also reduce fever (antipyretic).
Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant) causes the nasal mucosa to decrease. This relieves nasal congestion and relieves pressure that can cause headaches.

For adults and teenagers over 12 years old.

If you don't feel better or feel worse after 3 days, contact your doctor.

Interactions

Taking Tantum Grip with other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, even if they are non-prescription medicines.
It is particularly important to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you use the following medicines:

• Medicines to thin the blood or prevent blood clotting (e.g. warfarin and other coumarin preparations), as high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of bleeding

• Medicines that contain monoamine oxidase inhibitors (see also the section “Tantum Grip must not be used”)
