4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Advil Cold & Flu Relief is indicated for the relief of symptoms of the
common cold and flu such as headache, fever, sore throat,
minor aches and pain when associated with blocked nose (nasal
congestion) and sinuses (sinusitis) in adults and adolescents
over 12 years of age.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For oral administration and short-term use only.
This combination product should be used where both, the decongestant
action of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and the
analgesic and/or anti-inflammatory action of ibuprofen are required.
If one symptom (either nasal congestion or headache
and/or fever) predominates, single-agent therapy is preferable.
Posology
Adults, older people and adolescents over 12 years of age:
Take 1 capsule every 4-6 hours to a maximum of 6 capsules in any 24
hour period.
In case of more intense symptoms, 2 capsules (400 mg ibuprofen/60 mg
pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) may be taken at a
time. The dose can be repeated, if necessary, at six-hour intervals
without exceeding a maximum daily dose of 6 capsules
(1200 mg of ibuprofen and 180 mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride).
The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration
necessary to relieve the symptoms (see section 4.4).
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective
dose for the shortest duration necessary to control
symptoms (see section 4.4). Maximum duration of treatment is 5 days
