Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Paracetamol is part of the anilide group and is an analgesic and antipyretic. It has antipyretic and analgesic (eliminates headache, joint and muscle pain, as well as sore throat) action, and is also characterized by a slight anti-inflammatory activity. The substance practically does not show toxic properties in comparison with other drugs in this group.
Paracetamol is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. This process is carried out by blocking both forms of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Also, the compound selectively blocks COX3 (central nervous system) without affecting COX1 and COX2 localized in the periphery.
Paracetamol does not negatively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and does not lead to disturbances in the water-electrolyte balance and the retention of sodium ions in the body.
Pheniramine is a potent antihistamine and H 1 -histamine receptor blocker. It reduces the degree of capillary permeability, eliminates bronchial spasm and is characterized by anti-edematous activity, eliminates itching of the throat, nose and eyes, hyperemia and swelling of the paranasal sinuses and mucous membranes of the nose and nasopharynx. Also, the substance exhibits weak sedative properties, reduces exudative manifestations and is able to reduce the intensity of mucus production in the bronchi and nasopharynx.
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and improves both mental and physical performance. In combination with paracetamol, it increases the effectiveness and accelerates the absorption of the latter in the body.
Phenylephrine is an alpha-adrenergic agonist that helps to constrict blood vessels, reduce pressure in the paranasal sinuses and middle ear, eliminate swelling of the mucous membranes, and also increase blood pressure. If the substance is used frequently and over a long period of time, the body may develop tolerance to it, which will require an increase in dosage.
Pharmacokinetics
Paracetamol crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers and is absorbed in the small intestine. The degree of binding to blood plasma proteins is quite high. The maximum concentration of a substance in the body is determined 30-60 minutes after ingestion. The pharmacokinetics of the remaining active components of Rinzasip has not been sufficiently studied.

Overdose
An overdose of Rinzasip is caused, as a rule, by paracetamol, and its symptoms appear after taking 10-15 g of the latter. It is usually expressed by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, increased activity of hepatic transaminases, hepatonecrosis, increased prothrombin time, pallor of the skin. If they occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.

If after 3-5 days of using Rinzasip powder, the patient's condition does not improve, you should consult a doctor.
During treatment, special care should be taken to perform work that requires a high concentration of attention and a quick reaction.
Drug interactions
Rinzasip enhances the effect of ethanol, sedatives and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
With simultaneous use with antiparkinsonian drugs, antidepressants, phenothiazine derivatives and antipsychotic drugs, the risk of dry mouth, urinary retention and constipation increases; with glucocorticosteroids - the likelihood of developing glaucoma increases; with diuretics - their effectiveness decreases; with barbiturates, rifampicin, carbamazepine, diphenin - the risk of hepatotoxic effects of paracetamol increases.
Rinsasip reduces the antihypertensive effect of guanethidine, and the latter enhances the alpha-adrenostimulating effect of phenylephrine.
When administered together with halothane, the likelihood of developing ventricular arrhythmias increases, with tricyclic antidepressants - the adrenomimetic effect of phenylephrine increases.
