Description

Otricaps Blocked Nose and Sinusitis Relief Capsules

Otricaps Blocked Nose and Sinusitis Relief Capsules is a triple action formula that provides short term relief from the symptoms of flu, colds and chills including headache, shivers, aches and pains, blocked nose and painful sinuses, catarrh and sore throat. Suitable for adults and children over 16 years, these capsules contain three active ingredients:

  • Paracetamol: a painkiller and reduces your temperature when you have a fever.
  • Phenylephrine hydrochloride: a decongestant which unblocks your nose and sinuses helping you breathe more easily.
  • Caffeine: acts as a mild stimulant.

Directions

Adults and children aged 16 years and over:

  • 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours as required.
  • Do not take more than 12 capsules (6 doses) in any 24 hours.
  • Do not take more than the recommended dose.
  • Always use the lowest effective dose to relieve your symptoms.

If you do not get better, talk to your doctor. Do not take for more than 7 days without asking your doctor.

Avoid too much caffeine in drinks like coffee and tea. High caffeine intake can cause difficulty sleeping, shaking and an uncomfortable feeling in the chest.
