General medicine ingredient glossary
- PARACETAMOL
Paracetamol is a widely used medicine for pain and fever. It can help with headaches, toothache, cold and flu symptoms, sore throat, body aches, period pain, and fever. It is available in many forms, including tablets, liquids, soluble tablets, suppositories, and hospital injections.
2. CAFFEINE
Caffeine can be useful in small to moderate amounts, but it is still an active substance that affects the brain, heart, sleep, and some medicines. In South Africa, it may be found not only in coffee and energy drinks, but also in some common medicine combinations.
3. CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE
Chlorpheniramine maleate is a useful allergy medicine that can help with hay fever, itchy skin, sneezing, and runny nose. In South Africa, it is available in some allergy and cold/flu products.
4. PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE
Phenylephrine hydrochloride is used in some medicines for blocked noses and in hospital injections for low blood pressure. In South Africa, oral phenylephrine has been reviewed because of concerns that it may not work well as a nasal decongestant.
