1. What is PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANT syrup and what is it used for

PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANTsyrup is an association of phenylephrine, diphenhydramine, and chlorpheniramine. Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic amine that acts on the alpha-adrenergic receptors of the respiratory tract mucosa to produce vasoconstriction that temporarily reduces the swelling associated with inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the nasal passages, acting as a decongestant.

Diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine are two antihistamines that prevent, but do not reverse, histamine-mediated responses. The antimuscarinic actions of antihistamines provide a sedating effect on the nasal mucosa.

It relieves the symptoms of congestion of the upper respiratory tract mucosa that accompanies allergic rhinitis, perennial or seasonal.

2. BEFORE TAKING PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANT syrup

Do not take PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANT syrup:

  • If you are hypersensitive to any of the components of the medication.
  • Children under 2 years of age.

Be careful with PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANT syrup:

Administer with caution in patients with hypertension, severe cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, bladder neck obstruction, and urinary retention.

Patients sensitive to an antihistamine may be sensitive to others.

Use of other medications:

Antihistamines may potentiate the depressant effects on the CNS when administered concomitantly with CNS depressant medications, tricyclic antidepressants, maprotiline, MAO inhibitors, and alcohol. They may also potentiate the anticholinergic effects of medications with anticholinergic action.

The pressor effects may be potentiated when phenylephrine is administered concomitantly with doxapram, methyldopa, or trimethaphan. Phenylephrine, used concomitantly with digitalis glycosides, may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and exacerbate the vasoconstriction induced by ergot alkaloids or methysergide. It may also prolong and intensify the stimulant cardiac and vasopressor effects of sympathomimetic amines. The pressor response to phenylephrine may be blocked by prior administration of alpha-adrenergic blockers, and phenylephrine may inhibit the therapeutic effects of beta-adrenergic blockers. The risk of severe ventricular arrhythmias may increase when phenylephrine is administered simultaneously with halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetics by inhalation.

PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANTsyrup is compatible with any sulfonamide or antibiotic therapy.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medication, including those purchased without a prescription.

Use in children:

Do not administer to children under 2 years of age.

Use in the elderly:

In the elderly, anticholinergic and CNS stimulant effects are likely to occur, and there is a risk of precipitating undiagnosed glaucoma.

Pregnancy and lactation:

The safety of PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANTsyrup has not been established during pregnancy. Its use is not recommended in breastfeeding women due to the risk of adverse effects in the child, such as unusual excitement or irritability, as small amounts of antihistamines are excreted in breast milk.

Driving and using machines:

Since the medication can cause drowsiness, the ability to drive and operate machinery may be impaired, potentially being hazardous.

Use in athletes:

This medication contains phenylephrine, which may produce a positive result in doping tests.

Important information about some of the components of PAIDOTERIN DECONGESTANT syrup:

  • This medication contains sucrose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.
    • It may cause tooth decay.
    • It may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) because it contains methylparaben sodium (E-219).
    • This medication may cause allergic reactions because it contains amaranth (E-123). It may trigger asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid.

If ventricular tachycardia appears, lidocaine and, if there is no response, propranolol will be administered. In case of convulsions, diazepam. In case of severe hypertension, nitroprusside or phentolamine. If anticholinergic effects are uncontrollable, physostigmine will be administered. Electrocardiographic and vital sign monitoring will be performed, and in symptomatic patients, urine and blood electrolyte control.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
