1. What Yendol is and what it is used for

This medication achieves its effects thanks to the combination of different active ingredients: paracetamol and salicylamide (reduce pain and fever), chlorphenamine (relieves nasal secretion), and caffeine (counteracts the state of depression).

Yendol is used in adults and adolescents over 16 years old for the relief of symptoms in catarrhal and flu-like conditions that involve fever, mild or moderate pain, headache, and nasal secretion.

You should consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 5 days of treatment or if the fever persists for more than 3 days.

2. What you need to know before taking Yendol

Do not take Yendol

• If you are allergic to paracetamol, salicylamide, chlorphenamine, caffeine, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• If you have ever had allergic reactions when taking acetylsalicylic acid, xanthines (such as aminophylline, theophylline, etc.), any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (medications used to relieve inflammation, pain, and reduce fever), or a dye called tartrazine.
• If you are under 16 years old, as the use of salicylates (such as salicylamide) has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease.
• If you have chronic or recurrent ulcers in the upper part of the intestine (duodenal ulcer) or stomach (gastric ulcer).
• If you have a history of bleeding (blood loss) or gastric perforation after treatment with acetylsalicylic acid, salicylamide, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• If you have asthma or nasal polyps associated with asthma that are induced or exacerbated by acetylsalicylic acid.
• If you have blood coagulation disorders such as hemophilia (blood coagulation defect) or hypoprothrombinemia (abnormal decrease in the amount of prothrombin in the blood, which predisposes to the appearance of bleeding).
• If you have severe kidney and/or liver problems (severe renal and/or hepatic insufficiency).
• If you have any liver disease (with or without hepatic insufficiency) or viral hepatitis, as it increases the risk of paracetamol hepatotoxicity.
• If you are being treated with medications to prevent blood coagulation (oral anticoagulants).
• If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Yendol. It is especially important to consult your doctor if you:

• Suffer from certain respiratory diseasessuch as emphysema (a disorder that affects the lungs and causes difficulty breathing), chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, or when the cough is accompanied by excessive secretion, or in cases where your symptoms are due to the presence of rhinitis (inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucous membrane characterized by nasal secretion and congestion).
• Suffer from glaucomaof narrow angle (sudden and episodic elevations of ocular pressure), pyloricduodenal obstruction(in the muscular valve between the stomach and the small intestine), obstruction of the bladder neckor prostatic hyperplasia(difficulty urinating or prostate disease), as your symptoms may worsen.
• Are allergicto certain medications called antihistamines(medications that treat the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and/or urticaria).
• Have cardiac arrhythmias, have hyperthyroidism, suffer from anxietyepisodes.
• Are being treated with anti-inflammatory medications or other types of medications (antiplatelet agents, corticosteroids, certain antidepressants), as they may interact with Yendol and increase the risk of adverse effects (see the section "Other medications and Yendol").
• Are an elderly patient (over 65 years old), as you are at greater risk of experiencing adverse effects.
• Suffer from kidney or liver disease, as a dose adjustment may be necessary.
• Have a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (6GPD) (can cause hemolytic anemia).

During treatment with Yendol, inform your doctor immediately if you have serious diseases, such as severe renal insufficiency or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing damage to organs), or if you suffer from malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A serious disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in the blood and fluids) has been reported in patients in these situations when paracetamol is used at regular doses for a prolonged period or when paracetamol is taken with flucloxacillin. The symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling of discomfort (nausea) and vomiting.

Interrupt treatment with this medication and consult your doctor if you detect blood in stools or vomit, or if you suffer from excessive fatigue, as they may be symptoms of stomach bleeding.

Avoid using this medication if you have recently undergone or are scheduled to undergo any surgical intervention or dental extractionwithin the next 7 days.

This medication should not be used regularly to prevent possible discomfort caused by vaccinations.

Do not take more medication than recommended in section 3 "How to take Yendol".

Special attention should be paid to the simultaneous use of this medication with others that contain any of its active ingredients.

The simultaneous use of this medication with other medications that contain paracetamol should be avoided, as high doses can lead to liver damage. If another medication that contains paracetamol is administered, the maximum dose of paracetamol should not be exceeded (3 g every 24 hours, with a maximum dose in chronic alcoholics of 2 g/day), taking into account the content of all medications that contain paracetamol.

If you consume alcoholic beverages or are taking sedatives or tranquilizers, you should be especially careful when taking this medication, as they can increase its adverse effects.

Do not use in children or adolescents under 16 years old (see section "Do not take Yendol").

Other medications and Yendol

Taking Yendol with food, beverages, and alcohol

Taking this medication simultaneously with beverages that contain caffeine may cause nervousness, irritability, or insomnia.

Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed during treatment with this medication. Simultaneous consumption of alcohol during treatment with this medication can increase the risk of adverse effects, both gastrointestinal and on the central nervous system. If you habitually consume alcohol (three or more alcoholic beverages - beer, wine, liquor - per day), taking Yendol may cause stomach bleeding.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

The use of this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding may be hazardous to the embryo, fetus, or breastfed infant and should be monitored by your doctor.

Pregnancy

Do not take Yendol if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus.

You should not take Yendol during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary and as indicated by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. From the 20th week of pregnancy, salicylamide may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may cause low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

Breastfeeding

It is not recommended to take this medication during breastfeeding without consulting your doctor first. Yendol is excreted in breast milk.
