It is not easy to behave naturally if you have a high fever. But often it’s not possible to leave to the hospital, especially if the business rests on you. Yes, and a headache, a frequent companion of a cold, does not add a feeling of happiness. If you need to be alert and active, but the condition does not allow, it can be corrected with the help of the Caffetin medication.
Its composition is rather complicated, therefore the effect of the drug is complex. As part of the whole, propiphenazone, codeine, caffeine and paracetamol are present. Due to the content of caffeine in the composition, the product can be used only during the day or in the morning; you should not drink such a medicine at night, this is the specificity of the Kaffetin preparation.
Instructions for use indicate that the mechanism of action of the drug is complex. Firstly, the synthesis of inflammatory mediators - prostaglandins - is changing, in a smaller direction. Secondly, the tool has a direct effect on the thermoregulation of our body in the "highest instance" - the hypothalamus. Therefore, the temperature decreases, and we feel much better. Thirdly, caffeine helps the brain to concentrate on the necessary tasks, which is very important if you have to survive the disease “on your feet”, and fourthly, codeine affects the center of the cough in the brain, reducing its intensity and frequency.
However, the actions of this medicine are mostly symptomatic, it does not cure the disease itself, in addition, temperature and cough are natural defensive processes, therefore it’s not worth saving for more than 1-2 days with this medicine, otherwise you can get a much more serious disease, than a simple cold.
The medicine helps with both headache and toothache. But it is necessary that it does not become a solution to all problems. It is necessary to find out and treat the causes of pain, and not "suppress" the dysfunction in certain parts of the body with analgesics. So do not clutch at the Caffetine tool at the slightest discomfort.
Instructions for use characterizes the absorption of the drug as very fast. The fact is that this medicine is very effectively absorbed and associated with blood plasma. As a result, the effect comes pretty quickly. But this medicine also leaves the body rapidly, the liver binds paracetamol with glucuronic acid and very quickly removes it. Therefore, when using the medicine, you need to take into account the condition of the liver and not give it an excessive load. After all, the Kaffetin preparation is not so simple.
Instructions for use describe contraindications to taking the drug. First of all, this is a tendency to allergic situations, if you have ever had cases of hypersensitivity, then you should use this drug with great care, because it is a pretty strong allergen.
This remedy is also dangerous in case of asymptomatic nephropathy, since the load on the kidneys is created, while due to the absence of symptoms a person does not realize the danger posed by the seemingly harmless painkiller “Caffetine”.
The instruction for use also claims that negative effects are possible in patients with alcoholism, against a background of chronic hepatitis and renal failure. Therefore, with these conditions and dependencies, it is not recommended to use the medication in question.
Very careful to be those who have problems with blood coagulation. The drug reduces these indicators, as a result, the formation of large hematomas (bruises) under the skin and an increase in the time necessary to stop bleeding are possible. So you need to remember this when taking the Kaffetin medicine. This is especially true for patients who have to constantly take blood thinners. The described drug also exacerbates liver damage in alcoholics, so addiction sufferers should better avoid Caffetine.
