Feraflu

Feraflu is an over-the-counter (OTC) combination medication developed by Faromed for the symptomatic treatment of the common cold and influenza. As a small molecule product, it typically combines an analgesic and antipyretic agent, such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), with a nasal decongestant, such as phenylephrine hydrochloride. Paracetamol provides relief from fever and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, while phenylephrine acts as a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist to reduce nasal congestion by inducing vasoconstriction in the nasal mucosa. The product is part of Faromed's Cold and Flu range and is designed for the rapid relief of upper respiratory symptoms including aches, fever, and congestion.
