Rhinostop: What You Need to Know About This Cold and Flu Remedy
If you are suffering from a cold, flu or allergic rhinitis, you may be looking for a medicine that can relieve your symptoms quickly and effectively. One of the options you may come across is Rhinostop, a multi-component medicine that contains paracetamol, pseudoephedrine and chlorphenamine. But what is Rhinostop and how does it work? Here are some facts you should know before you use it.
What is Rhinostop and what does it do?
Rhinostop is a medicine that combines three active ingredients: paracetamol, pseudoephedrine and chlorphenamine. Each of these components has a different action that complements the others.
- Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever. It can help with headaches, sore throat, muscle and joint pain.
- Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that acts on the small blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, causing them to constrict. This prevents excessive secretion of mucus from the nose and sinuses and relieves the symptoms of inflammation of the nasal mucosa and sinuses.
- Chlorphenamine is an antihistamine that reduces nasal discharge and congestion, as well as tearing and itching of the eyes. It can also help with sneezing, itching in the nose or throat and runny nose.
Rhinostop can improve the symptoms of colds, flu or allergic rhinitis, such as:
- Increased secretion from the nose
- Nasal and sinus congestion
- Redness of the nose and eyes
- Burning and tearing of the eyes
- Itching in the nose or throat
- Sneezing
- Headache
- Sinus pain
- Sore throat
- Muscle and joint pain
- High body temperature
- General weakness
Rhinostop is carefully designed to improve the health condition of the patient quickly and effectively, and to enable faster return to normal functioning and daily activities. In clinical studies, Rhinostop showed significantly greater efficacy than mono-component medicines (e.g. paracetamol 500 mg) in terms of acting on a wider range of symptoms . According to the subjective assessment of patients and objective assessment of doctors, Rhinostop was rated as a better and more acceptable medicine in the treatment of colds.
How to use Rhinostop?
Rhinostop comes in two forms: tablets and syrup. The dosage depends on the age and weight of the patient. The recommended doses are:
| Age/Weight | Tablets | Syrup |

| Children 2-6 years old (10-20 kg) | - | 2.5 ml every 4-6 hours (maximum 10 ml per day) |

Rhinostop tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Rhinostop syrup should be measured with a measuring spoon or cup and taken orally.
Rhinostop should not be used for more than 5 days without consulting a doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if new symptoms appear, seek medical advice.
