1.    What Uniflu Tablets are and what they are used for

Uniflu Tablets tablets are for the symptomatic relief from the discomfort associated with influenza and colds i.e. nasal and sinus congestion, headache, fever, aching limbs, coughing and runny nose; and for the symptomatic relief of nasal congestion in allergic conditions such as hayfever.

2.    Before you take Uniflu Tablets

Taking codeine regularly for a long time can lead to addiction, which might cause you to feel restless and irritable when you stop taking the tablets.

Taking a painkiller for headaches too often or for too long can make them worse.

•    are already taking other products containing paracetamol

•    are allergic to paracetamol or any of the other ingredients (see section 6 for a complete list of ingredients)

•    have an overactive thyroid, high blood pressure or heart disease

•    are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (a type of antidepressant) or within 14 days of stopping such treatment

•    are suffering from persistent or chronic cough such as occurs with smoking, asthma or emphysema (serious lung condition causing shortness of breath) or if cough is accompanied by excessive mucus (phlegm).
