IlviGrip Nocheis an association of paracetamol, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and doxylamine succinate.

It is indicated in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older for symptomatic relief of common cold and flu that are accompanied by pain or fever, nasal congestion, and non-productive cough (irritative cough, nervous cough). It is especially indicated for nighttime treatment.

Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or do not improve after 3 days of treatment.

Do not take IlviGrip Noche

• If you are allergic to paracetamol, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, or doxylamine succinate, or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• If you are allergic to other antihistamines, other than doxylamine succinate.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Children under 12 years old cannot take this medication.
• If you have severe kidney or liver disease.
• If you have asthma (asthmatic patients).
• If you have a cough accompanied by abundant secretions.
• If you have a severe lung disease.
• If you are being treated or have been treated in the past 2 weeks with any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used for the treatment of depression, Parkinson's disease, or other diseases, as well as other medications that inhibit serotonin reuptake used for the treatment of depression such as fluoxetine and paroxetine; or also with bupropion, which is a medication used to quit smoking, or with linezolid, which is an antibacterial medication (see section on use of other medications).

Warnings and precautions

This medication may cause dependence. Therefore, treatment should be of short duration.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist or nurse before taking IlviGrip Noche:

• Do not take more medication than recommended in section 3. How to take.
• The simultaneous use of more than one medication containing paracetamol may cause intoxication.
• You have or have had liver disease (including alcoholic liver disease) or severe kidney disease.
• Chronic alcoholics should be careful not to take more than 90 ml of the medication in 24 hours. Alcohol consumption negatively affects liver function and may increase the risk of liver toxicity due to paracetamol-containing products.
• When taking any medication for epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as when taken together, it may reduce the effectiveness of the medication and increase the toxicity of paracetamol for the liver.
• Doxylamine succinate reduces sweating, so this medication may exacerbate dehydration and heatstroke symptoms.
• This medication may cause drowsiness during the day.
• Avoid taking sedatives while using this medication.
• If you are taking other medications such as antidepressants or antipsychotics, IlviGrip Noche may interact with these medications and you may experience changes in your mental state (e.g. agitation, hallucinations, coma) and other effects such as high body temperature, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and exaggeration of reflexes, muscle rigidity, lack of coordination, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea).
• Do not take IlviGrip Noche if you have taken 4 doses of paracetamol during the day.
• Do not take other medications containing paracetamol within 6 hours before and after taking IlviGrip Noche.

During treatment with IlviGrip Noche, immediately inform your doctor if:

• You have severe diseases, such as severe kidney disease or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing damage to organs), or if you suffer from malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or if you are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A severe disease called metabolic acidosis (a blood and fluid anomaly) has been reported in patients in these situations when using paracetamol at regular doses for a prolonged period or when taking paracetamol with flucloxacillin. Symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe respiratory difficulty with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea), and vomiting.

Patients with the following conditions should consult a doctor before taking this medication:

• Asthmatics sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid.
• Liver, kidney, heart, or lung diseases, and patients with anemia.
• Debilitated, sedated, or bedridden patients.
• Persistent or chronic cough, such as that caused by smoking. Especially in children, chronic cough may be an early sign of asthma.
• Atopic dermatitis (inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythema, itching, exudation, crusts, and desquamation, which begins in childhood in individuals with hereditary allergic predisposition).
• Prolongation of the QT interval (a heart problem).
• Low levels of potassium in the blood or other electrolyte abnormalities in the blood.
• High blood pressure.
• Chronic bronchitis (persistent inflammation of the bronchi) and pulmonary emphysema (disease affecting the lungs, making it difficult to breathe).
• Glaucoma (elevated eye pressure).
• Urinary retention.
• Prostatic hypertrophy (abnormal enlargement of the prostate).
• Peptic ulcer (erosion of the stomach wall or beginning of the intestine), pyloric obstruction (difficulty passing food from the stomach to the intestine), and urethral stricture (disease of the urinary tract).
• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Other medications and paracetamol

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

• Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid anomaly (called metabolic acidosis) that requires urgent treatment (see section 2).

People over 65 years old should consult their doctor before taking this medication due to their increased sensitivity to the appearance of adverse effects.

Cases of abuse with dextromethorphan-containing medications have been reported in adolescents, so this possibility should be taken into account, as it may cause severe adverse effects (see section: If you take more IlviGrip Noche than you should).

Serotonin syndrome:

Serotonin syndrome, including potentially fatal syndrome, has been reported with dextromethorphan administration concomitantly with serotoninergic agents, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), medications that impair serotonin metabolism (including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and CYP2D6 inhibitors).

Serotonin syndrome may include changes in mental state, instability of autonomic function, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms.
If serotonin syndrome is suspected, treatment with IlviGrip Noche should be discontinued.

Interference with analytical tests

If you are to undergo any analytical test (including blood, urine, etc...), inform your doctor that you are taking this medication, as it may alter the results.

Doxylamine succinate may interfere with skin allergy tests that use allergens. It is recommended to discontinue treatment with IlviGrip Noche at least 3 days before starting these tests.

Paracetamol may alter the values of uric acid and glucose determinations.

Children and adolescents

This medication is contraindicated in children under 12 years old.

Taking IlviGrip Noche with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have taken, or may need to take any other medication, as many other medications may affect liver function and increase the risk of liver toxicity.
