Do not use for more than a few days at a time in adults except on medical advice. Should not be used for more than 48 hours for children aged 12 17 except on medical advice. Do not give to children under 12 years of age. Do not exceed the stated dose or frequency of dose. The lowest dose necessary to achieve efficacy should be used. Should not be used with other medicines containing paracetamol, dextromethorphan, phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine, decongestants or antihistamines, including cough and cold medicines. Renal and Hepatic impairment Patients who have been diagnosed with liver or kidney impairment must seek medical advice before taking this medication. The restrictions related to the use of such combinations in these patients is primarily a consequence of the paracetamol content of the product. (See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.) CONTRAINDICATIONS This product is contraindicated in patients: with a previous history of hypersensitivity to paracetamol, dextromethorphan, phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine, other antihistamines or any of the excipients. with severe hypertension or coronary artery disease who are taking Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs), or who have taken MAOIs within the previous 14 days (see INTERACTIONS)with narrow-angle glaucoma with stenosing peptic ulcer with symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy with bladder neck obstruction with pyloroduodenal obstruction who are taking other sympathomimetics (such as decongestants, appetite suppressants and amphetamine-like psychostimulants (see INTERACTIONS) with, or at risk of developing respiratory failure (e.g. those with chronic obstructive airways disease or pneumonia or during an asthma attack or an exacerbation of asthma). COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 2 of 16

who are using other medicines containing paracetamol, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, chlorpheniramine or other medicines for the relief of coughs & colds, congestion or blocked nose. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Medical advice should be sought before taking this product in patients with these conditions: Hypertension Cardiovascular disease Diabetes Hyperthyroidism Raised intraocular pressure (ie glaucoma) Phaeochromocytoma An enlargement of the prostate gland Occlusive vascular disease (eg Raynaud s Phenomenon) Epilepsy Bronchitis Bronchiectasis Bronchial asthma Chronic or persistent cough such as occurs with asthma and emphysema or where cough is accompanied by excessive secretions. Liver and kidney impairment. Caution should be exercised in patients with kidney impairment and in those with hepatic impairment due to the paracetamol and chlorpheniramine content of this medicine. Underlying liver disease increases the risk of paracetamol-related liver damage. Patients who have been diagnosed with liver or kidney impairment must seek medical advice before taking this medication. In patients with glutathione depleted states such as sepsis the use of paracetamol may increase the risk of metabolic acidosis. Cases of hepatic dysfunction/failure have been reported in patients with depleted glutathione bevels, such as those who are severely malnourished, anorexic, have a low body mass index or are chronic heavy users of alcohol. The anticholinergic properties of chlorpheniramine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision and psychomotor impairment in some patients which may seriously affect ability to drive and use machinery. Chlorpheniramine and dextromethorphan may increase the effects of alcohol and therefore concurrent use should be avoided. (See INTERACTIONS.) Concurrent use with drugs which cause sedation, such as anxiolytics and hypnotics may cause an increase in sedative effects, therefore medical advice should be sought before taking chlorpheniramine concurrently with these medicines. (See INTERACTIONS.) COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 3 of 16

Phenylephrine should be used with caution in patients taking beta-blockers or other antihypertensives. (See INTERACTIONS.) Phenylephrine and dextromethorphan should be used with caution in patients taking tricyclic antidepressants. (See INTERACTIONS.) Dextromethorphan should be used with caution in patients taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). (See INTERACTIONS.) This product should not be used by patients taking other sympathomimetics (such as decongestants, appetite suppressants and amphetamine-like psychostimulants). (See INTERACTIONS.) This product should not be used with other antihistamine containing products, including antihistamine containing cough and cold preparations. Concomitant use of other cough and cold medicines should be avoided. If symptoms persist for more than 7 days or are accompanied by high fever, skin rash or persistent headache, medical advice must be sought. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Use in pregnancy This product should not be used during pregnancy without medical advice. Phenylephrine - Category B2 Drugs which have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human foetus having been observed. Studies in animals are inadequate or may be lacking, but available data show no evidence of an increased occurrence of foetal damage. Use in lactation This product should not be used while breastfeeding without medical advice. Paracetamol is excreted in breast milk. Maternal ingestion of paracetamol in usual analgesic doses does not appear to present a risk to the breastfed infant. Phenylephrine may be excreted in breast milk. Chlorpheniramine is secreted in breast milk. COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 4 of 16

No relevant data are available for dextromethorphan. It is not known whether dextromethorphan is excreted in breast milk or whether it had a harmful effect on the breastfeeding infant. Use in children Do onto give to children under 12 years of age. Children may experience paradoxical excitation with chlorpheniramine. Use in elderly The elderly may experience paradoxical excitation with chlorpheniramine. The elderly are also more likely to have central nervous system (CNS) depressive side effects including confusion Effects on ability to drive and use machines Chlorpheniramine which is contained in the Night caplets may cause dizziness, blurred vision and CNS depressive effects including sedation and impaired performance (impaired driving performance, incoordination, reduced motor skills and impaired information processing). Performance may be impaired in the absence of sedation and may persist the morning after a night time dose. Patients should be advised not to drive or operate machinery if affected. Due to chlorpheniramine and dextromethorphan content of this product, alcohol should be avoided (See INTERACTIONS). ADVERSE EFFECTS Adverse events from historical clinical trial data are both infrequent and from small patient exposure. Accordingly, events reported from extensive post-marketing experience at therapeutic/labelled dose and considered attributable are tabulated below by System Organ Class and frequency. The following convention has been utilised for the classification of undesirable effects: very common ( 1/10), common ( 1/100, <1/10), uncommon ( 1/1,000, <1/100), rare ( 1/10,000, <1/1,000), very rare (<1/10,000), not known (cannot be estimated from available data).

Anticoagulant dosage may require reduction if treatment with paracetamol containing medication is prolonged. These substances increase paracetamol absorption. These substances decrease paracetamol absorption. Concentrations may be increased by paracetamol Risk of paracetamol toxicity may be increased. May affect paracetamol excretion and alter paracetamol plasma concentrations. Reduces the absorption of paracetamol if given within one hour of paracetamol. COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 8 of 16

Phenylephrine Phenylephrine should be used with caution in combination with the following drugs as interactions have been reported. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors Sympathomimetic amines such as other decongestants, appetite suppressants and amphetamine-like psychostimulants Beta-blockers and other antihypertensives (including debrisoquine, guanethidine, reserpine, methyldopa) Tricyclic antidepressants (e.g. amitriptyline) Digoxin and cardiac glycosides Hypertensive crisis or a serious increase in blood pressure may occur between phenylephrine and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (See CONTRAINDICATIONS.) Concomitant use of phenylephrine with other sympathomimetic amines can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects and other additive effects (See CONTRAINDICATIONS.) Phenylephrine may reduce the efficacy of betablocking drugs and antihypertensive drugs. The risk of hypertension and other cardiovascular side effects may be increased. (See WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS.) May increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects with phenylephrine (See WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS.) Hypertensive crisis may also occur. Increase the risk of irregular heartbeat or heart attack. Chlorpheniramine The following interactions with chlorpheniramine have been noted. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) Central nervous system (CNS) depressants (e.g. alcohol, sedatives, opioid analgesics, hypnotics) Phenytoin These substances may prolong and intensify the anticholinergic and CNS depressive effects of chlorpheniramine. (See CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS.) Central nervous system (CNS) depressants may cause an increase in sedation effects (See WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS). Chlorpheniramine when taken concomitantly with phenytoin may cause a decrease in phenytoin elimination. Dextromethorphan The following interactions with dextromethorphan have been noted Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) Dextromethorphan should not be used in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or who have taken MAOIs within the previous 14 days. The use of dextromethorphan with, or within two weeks COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 9 of 16

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants CNS depressants (e.g. alcohol, narcotic analgesics and tranquilizers) Inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2D6 of taking MAOIs, may increase the risk of serious side effects such as hypertensive crisis, hyperpyrexia and convulsions. Concomitant use of dextromethorphan with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine or tricyclic antidepressants such as clomipramine and imipramine, may result in serotonin syndrome with changes in mental status, hypertension, restlessness myoclonus, hyperreflexia, diaphoresis, shivering and tremor (See WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS). Concomitant use of dextromethorphan and other CNS depressants (e.g. alcohol, narcotic analgesics and tranquillizers) may increase the CNS depressant effects of these drugs. (See WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS.) Serum levels of dextromethorphan may be increased by the concomitant use of inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2D6, such as the anti-arrhythmic quinidine and amiodarone, antidepressants such as fluoxetine and paroxetine, or other drugs which inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 such as haloperidol and thioridazine. OVERDOSE Immediate medical management is required in the event of an overdose even if the symptoms of overdose are not present. If an overdose is taken or suspected, contact the Poisons Information Centre immediately for advice (0800 764 766) or the patient should go to the nearest hospital straight away. This should be done even if they feel well because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage. Paracetamol Symptoms and signs Paracetamol overdose may cause liver failure which can lead to liver transplant or death. Treatment Immediate medical management is required in the event of overdose, even if symptoms of overdose are not present. Administration of N-acetylcysteine or methionine may be required. COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 10 of 16

Phenylephrine Symptoms and Signs Overdose is likely to result in effects similar to those listed under Adverse Reactions. Additional symptoms may include irritability, restlessness, hypertension, and possibly reflex bradycardia. In severe cases confusion, hallucinations, seizures and arrhythmias may occur. Treatment Treatment should be as clinically appropriate. Severe hypertension may need to be treated with an alpha blocking drug such as phentolamine. Dextromethorphan Symptoms and Signs Dextromethorphan overdose is likely to result in effects similar to those listed under Adverse Reactions. Following large overdoses, additional symptoms may include excitation, mental confusion, restlessness, nervousness and irritability, stupor, ataxia, dystonia, hallucinations, psychosis and respiratory depression. Treatment Supportive and symptomatic care should be provided as required. If overdose is severe, naloxone may be helpful, particularly for patients with respiratory depression. Chlorphenamine Symptoms and Signs Overdose is likely to result in effects similar to those listed under adverse reactions. Additional symptoms may include paradoxical excitation, toxic psychosis, convulsions, apnoea, dystonic reactions and cardiovascular collapse including arrhythmias. Treatment Treatment should be supportive and directed toward specific symptoms. Convulsions and marked CNS stimulation should be treated with parenteral diazepam. FURTHER INFORMATION Actions Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other analgesics and antipyretics, paracetamol, combinations excluding psycholeptics. Paracetamol is a para-aminophenol derivative that exhibits analgesic and anti-pyretic activity. Its mechanism of action is believed to include inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily within the central nervous system. It does not possess antiinflammatory activity. COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 11 of 16

Dextromethorphan is a non-opioid antitussive used for the relief of coughs, often accompanying colds and respiratory infections. It exerts its antitussive activity by acting on the cough centre of the medulla oblongata, raising the threshold for the cough reflex. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic agent with mainly direct effects on adrenergic receptors (predominantly alpha-adrenergic activity) producing nasal decongestion. Chlorpheniramine maleate is a potent antihistamine (H 1 -antagonist). Antihistamines diminish or abolish the actions of histamine in the body by competitive reversible blockage of histamine H 1 -receptor sties on tissues. Chlorpheniramine also has anticholinergic activity. Pharmacodynamics The lack of peripheral prostaglandin inhibition by paracetamol confers important pharmacological properties such as the maintenance of the protective prostaglandins within the gastrointestinal tract. Paracetamol is, therefore, particularly suitable for patients with a history of disease or on concomitant medication, where peripheral prostaglandin inhibition would be undesirable (such as, for example, those with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or the elderly). Antihistamines act to prevent the release of histamine, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and have been shown to prevent the migration of inflammatory mediators. The actions of chlorpheniramine include inhibition of histamine on smooth muscle, capillary permeability and hence reduction of oedema and wheal in hypersensitivity reactions such as allergy and anaphylaxis. Pharmacokinetics Absorption Paracetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food intake delays paracetamol absorption. Dextromethorphan is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Phenylephrine is irregularly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Chlorpheniramine is absorbed relatively slowly from the gastrointestinal tract with peak plasma concentrations occurring about 2.5 to 6 hours, after oral administration. More rapid and extensive absorption, faster clearance, and a shorter half-life have been reported in children compared to adults. COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 12 of 16

Distribution Paracetamol is distributed into most body tissues. Binding to the plasma proteins is minimal at therapeutic concentrations but increases with increasing doses. Due to extensive pre-systemic metabolism by the liver, detailed analysis of the distribution of orally administered dextromethorphan is not possible. Phenylephrine undergoes rapid distribution into peripheral tissues. The volume of distribution of phenylephrine is between 200 and 500L, there appears to be minimal brain penetration, and does not seem to cross the placenta and does not appear to be distributed to any great extent in breast milk. Chlorpheniramine is widely distributed in the body and enters the CNS. Metabolism Paracetamol is metabolised in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. The metabolites of paracetamol include a minor hydroxylated intermediate which has hepatotoxic activity. This intermediate metabolite is detoxified by conjugation with glutathione. However, it can accumulate following paracetamol overdosage (more than 200 mg/kg or 10 g total paracetamol ingested) and, if left untreated, can cause irreversible liver damage. Dextromethorphan is metabolised in the liver, exhibiting polymorphic metabolism involving the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme (CYP 2D6). Phenylephrine undergoes first-pass metabolism by monoamine oxidases in the gut and liver; orally administered phenylephrine thus has reduced bioavailability. Phenylephrine undergoes extensive metabolism in the intestinal wall (first pass) and in the liver. The principal routes of metabolism involve sulfate conjugation (primarily in the intestinal wall) and oxidative deamination (by monoamine oxidase); glucuronidation also occurs to a lesser extent. Chlorpheniramine appears to undergo considerable first-pass metabolism. Bioavailability is low, values of 25 to 50% having been reported. About 70% of chlorpheniramine in the circulation is bound to plasma proteins. There is wide interindividual variation in the pharmacokinetics of chlorpheniramine; half-life values ranging from 2 to 43 hours have been reported. Chlorpheniramine maleate is metabolised extensively. Metabolites include desmethyl- and didesmethylchlorpheniramine. Excretion Paracetamol is excreted in the urine mainly as the glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted as unmodified paracetamol with 85% to 90% of the COLDREX PE COLD &FLU DAY & NIGHT CAPLETS DATA SHEET Page 13 of 16

administered dose eliminated in the urine within 24 hours of ingestion. The elimination half-life varies from one to three hours. Dextromethorphan is excreted in the urine as unchanged dextromethorphan and demethylated metabolites, including dextrorphan, which has some cough suppressant activity. The plasma elimination half-life of dextromethorphan is 1.2 to 3.9 hours. However, the rate of metabolism varies between individuals according to phenotype (extensive v poor metabolisers), with half-life being as long as 45 hours in patients who are poor metabolisers. Phenylephrine and its metabolites are excreted mainly in urine. Following oral administration approximately 80% of the dose is excreted in urine within 48 hours principally as metabolites. Approximately 2.5% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug. The elimination half life averages 2-3 hours following oral administration. Chlorpheniramine - Unchanged drug and metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine; excretion is dependent on urinary ph and flow rate. Only trace amounts have been found in the faeces.
