Reduces fever. The systemic availability is subject to first-pass metabolism and varies with dose between 70% and 90%. The drug is rapidly and widely distributed throughout the body and is eliminated from plasma with a T½ of approximately 2 hours. The major metabolites are glucuronide and sulphate conjugates (>80%) which are excreted in urine. The speed of absorption of paracetamol may be increased by metoclopramide or domperidone and absorption reduced by cholestyramine. The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarins may be enhanced by prolonged regular daily use of paracetamol with increased risk of bleeding; occasional doses have no significant effect. Paracetamol: Paracetamol is absorbed readily after taking the product and is detected in the plasma within 5 minutes or oral dosing. The pharmacokinetic model shows faster absorption seen over the first 30 minutes for the product compared to a standard does of two paracetamol tablets, however, the overall extent of absorption of both products remains the same. Actual mean plasma levels at each time point show the time to achieve a level of 5 µg/ml is less than 14 minutes, compared to 22 minutes for standard paracetamol tablets; the speed to achieve 10 µg/ml being 19 minutes versus 30 minutes.

Phenylephrine overdose is likely to result in: nervousness, headache, dizziness, insomnia, increased blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, mydriasis, acute angle closure glaucoma (most likely to occur in those with closed angle glaucoma), tachycardia, palpitations, allergic reactions (e.g. rash, urticaria, allergic dermatitis), dysuria, urinary retention (most likely to occur in those with bladder outlet obstruction, such as prostatic hypertrophy). Additional symptoms may include, hypertension, and possibly reflex bradycardia. In severe cases confusion, hallucinations, seizures and arrhythmias may occur. However the amount required to produce serious phenylephrine toxicity would be greater than that required to cause paracetamol-related liver toxicity. Phenylephrine: Phenylephrine is absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, but has reduced bioavailability by the oral route due to first-pass metabolism. It retains activity as a nasal decongestant when given orally, the drug distributing through the systemic circulation to the vascular bed of nasal mucosa. When taken by mouth as a nasal decongestant, phenylephrine is usually given at intervals of 4-6 hours. Seek advice before using if you are breast feeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies.
