Description
Ingredients
A-Ferin Forte contains 650 mg of paracetamol and 4 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate. Paracetamol is an analgesic that works in the brain to reduce pain and fever. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing.
Usage
A-Ferin Forte is part of the cough and cold preparations group and is used to temporarily relieve symptoms of hay fever, allergies, or the common cold, including pain, fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose and throat, and itchy/watery eyes.
How it Works
A-Ferin Forte is an analgesic, antihistamine, and decongestant combination. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The analgesic works in the brain to reduce pain and fever.
Contraindications
Do not use A-Ferin Forte if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take cough or cold medicine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take A-Ferin Forte if you have any pre-existing conditions.
