About Febrex Plus Tablet

Febrex Plus Tablet is primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as rhinovirus.

Febrex Plus Tablet is a combination of Paracetamol, Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins. Phenylephrine works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions.

Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Health Queries

My patient has a cold, ear pain, and a persistent fever of 100-102?F. We are administering P-250, Azithral, Febrex Plus, and Ciplox ear drops, but the fever is not coming down. Is this combination of medications safe and effective, and what should we do next?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

The current medication combination carries a risk of paracetamol overdose. Both the fever medicine and the cold syrup contain paracetamol; administering them together can accidentally exceed the safe daily limit. Please consult your pediatrician immediately to review the dosages. The persistent fever may be because the antibiotic (azithromycin) and ear drops (ciprofloxacin) require 24 to 48 hours to take effect, or the infection is viral. For now, avoid giving the cold syrup and paracetamol syrup together. Keep your child hydrated, use lukewarm water sponging to help soothe the fever, and consult your doctor promptly to safely adjust the treatment plan.
