SARIDON (10 tablets)

Description

SARIDON (10 tablets) is a combination medication commonly used for the relief of mild to moderate pain. It contains three active ingredients: Paracetamol, Propyphenazone, and Caffeine, each contributing to its effective pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.

• Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever. It works by blocking pain signals and reducing the body’s production of chemicals responsible for causing pain and fever.

• Propyphenazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and swelling in the body.

• Caffeine is added to enhance the effects of the other ingredients by improving their absorption and increasing their pain-relieving properties. It also helps relieve fatigue and increases alertness, making it particularly effective for conditions like tension headaches or migraines.

SARIDON is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Headaches and migraines
• Toothaches and muscle pain
• Menstrual cramps and joint pain
• Fever and flu-related discomfort

It provides fast-acting relief, typically within 30 minutes of ingestion. The combination of Paracetamol, Propyphenazone, and Caffeine makes SARIDON particularly effective for headaches and migraines, as the caffeine helps to increase blood flow and improve the overall effectiveness of the medication.

Dosage and Usage: SARIDON is usually taken 1 to 2 tablets per dose, up to 3 times daily. It should be taken with a full glass of water and preferably after meals to reduce the risk of stomach upset. The dosage should not exceed the prescribed limit, as excessive intake of Paracetamol can lead to liver damage, and overuse of NSAIDs like Propyphenazone can cause gastrointestinal issues.

Potential Side Effects: While SARIDON is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects, including:

• Nausea or stomach upset
• Dizziness or drowsiness
• Allergic reactions (such as rash or swelling)
• Prolonged use or high doses can lead to liver damage (due to Paracetamol) or gastrointestinal irritation (due to Propyphenazone).

Precautions: SARIDON should be used with caution in individuals with liver or kidney problems, gastrointestinal conditions like ulcers, or those who have a history of allergic reactions to any of the ingredients. It is not recommended for individuals with certain conditions like glaucoma or heart problems due to the caffeine content.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as individuals taking other medications, should consult their healthcare provider before using SARIDON. For optimal safety, it’s important not to exceed the recommended dosage and to avoid combining SARIDON with other products containing Paracetamol.

For effective pain management, SARIDON should be used as part of a comprehensive plan, including rest and lifestyle adjustments, especially for recurring pain conditions like migraines or chronic headaches.
