Rinza, instructions for use, calls this drug a combination medication, by taking which you can quickly relieve unpleasant cold symptoms. Catarrhal symptoms of influenza and other viral infections are a signal for a person that he needs to put things aside and stay at home in order to gain strength and carry out adequate drug therapy.
However, symptoms in the form of elevated body temperature, coughing, sneezing, headaches and joint pain are not so easy to tolerate, so there is always a need to use medications that relieve these manifestations. The patient can take several medications at once for symptomatic therapy, or use one medicine that relieves a whole set of cold symptoms, which is Rinza.
pharmachologic effect
Rinza tablets, which help with pain symptoms and colds, have a complex effect. This becomes possible due to the inclusion of 4 active substances in the composition of the medicine.
Thus, paracetamol creates a thermoregulatory and analgesic effect, reduces pain symptoms and temperature. Chlorphenamine provides an antiallergic effect, relieves swelling of the respiratory tract, itching, hyperemia, and exudative symptoms.
The presence of phenylephrine gives a vasoconstrictor result, reducing hyperemia and swelling. Thanks to caffeine, a stimulating effect on the central nervous system is manifested, the patient’s drowsiness disappears, intellectual and physical performance increases, and fatigue disappears.
Indications for treatment, what Rinza helps with
Rinza provides symptomatic treatment of “colds”, acute respiratory infections, including influenza. Acute respiratory diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria,
, as well as groups of various pathogens. Among the acute respiratory infections, influenza is undoubtedly the most important. Source
With influenza, three main syndromes are observed in the clinical picture - syndrome
, catarrhal syndrome and fever syndrome. The severity of this disease is primarily determined by the presence and severity of intoxication syndrome. The flu begins acutely, often with chills. Body temperature reaches from 38 to 40 degrees. General syndrome
manifested by weakness, adynamia,
, pain in muscles, eyeballs,
. Patients experience headache, dizziness,
, occasionally observed
and nasal
. Damage to the respiratory tract is manifested by a sore throat, dry cough, hoarse voice, nasal congestion and
. After 3-4 days the cough becomes wet.
Elevated body temperature is the first sign of the body's fight against the infectious agent. The reason why body temperature rises is the entry into the blood of substances that affect the thermoregulation center in the central nervous system.
Very high temperatures can lead to overheating of internal organs and convulsions. An antipyretic, and in this case paracetamol, is a drug that inhibits the formation of prostaglandins (substances that cause high fever).
Chills are a condition of the body that is characterized by the occurrence of spasm of the peripheral vessels of the skin without an increase in blood pressure. This condition and elevated body temperature are interconnected, as they are reactions of the immune system to infection of the body by viruses and bacteria.
Nasal congestion occurs when the infectious agent multiplies in the epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract. As a result of the destruction of these cells, the function of the mucous membrane is disrupted.
Also in the mucous membrane there are cells that produce mucus. When the nasal mucosa is damaged, the activity of these cells increases, resulting in an increase in mucous discharge.
Elevated body temperature is a protective reaction of the human body to an infectious and inflammatory process. As the temperature rises, the body's immune system is activated, and infectious agents multiply more slowly.
Each patient is individual and tolerates an increase in body temperature differently. For some, a temperature of 37.5 degrees is already critical, while others remain active and productive even at 39 degrees.

Applications and dosages
Rinza should be taken orally with plenty of water. The tablet should be taken 30 minutes after eating. The duration of use of the drug should not exceed 5 days. If the therapeutic effect is not observed, the drug is discontinued.
for children
The drug is not used in pediatric practice. The composition may harm the child's well-being.
for pregnant women and during lactation
Rinza is not prescribed to women during pregnancy and nursing mothers. The active ingredients of the drug composition are absorbed into the systemic bloodstream and can harm the patient’s health.
This is interesting!
Rinza and some analogues contain caffeine, which is an alkaloid found in coffee beans, tea leaves and kola nuts. The substance directly affects the central nervous system, providing a psychostimulating, cardiotonic and analeptic effect. As a result, physical and mental activity increases, gas exchange in the lungs improves, low blood pressure normalizes, and tissue metabolism is activated.
The pharmacological effects of caffeine help get rid of drowsiness and fatigue, increase reaction speed, and improve mental activity. Interestingly, stimulation of the brain occurs only when using small doses of the drug. In high dosages, the opposite effect occurs, which can cause disturbances in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Special Recommendations
When treating with this medication, it is recommended to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages, sleeping pills and anxiolytic medications. This medicine should not be used in combination with other drugs that contain paracetamol: this may result in an overdose. During the period of therapy, it is necessary to refrain from driving and performing work that requires the patient to have a high concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions of the body. Contraindications to the use of Rinza must be taken into account in advance.
Reviews
Numerous reviews about this drug left by patients and doctors are, in most cases, positive. There are virtually no reports of overdose cases.
Not everyone, of course, knows the indications for using Rinza tablets. Patients who have used this medication to eliminate cold symptoms note that the drug helps reduce the likelihood of developing the disease if such medications are taken when the first symptoms occur. At the same time, nasal congestion is quickly eliminated, soreness in the throat becomes less pronounced, and the elevated temperature decreases. At the height of the disease, according to patients, using this remedy can significantly alleviate the condition, which is characterized by fever and chills.
Powder
As for the medicine in powder form "Rinzasip", it should be taken with plenty of water or other liquid 1-2 hours after meals. To prepare solutions, the contents of the sachet must be filled with hot water and mixed thoroughly until the powder dissolves. If necessary, you can add sugar or honey to the solution. Adult patients and adolescents over 15 years of age are prescribed 1 sachet of medication 3-4 times a day. It is important to observe the interval between using the powder, which is 4-6 hours. The maximum dosage is 4 sachets per day, duration of administration is 5 days. If you do not follow the contraindications to Rinza in powder or tablets, you can get extremely negative symptoms.
Do not overdo it
Rinza receives positive reviews only when the drug was taken on the recommendation of a doctor, and the dosage and regimen were observed very strictly. But if the drug was taken almost uncontrollably, and any ailment was relieved without a break of 6-8 hours, an overdose occurs.
First of all, this is facilitated by the content of paracetamol in it. This medicinal substance must be used carefully, in a strictly specified dose and regimen, as it negatively affects the functioning of the liver, including hepatonecrosis. And the use of phenylephrine and caffeine in large quantities causes dizziness, headaches, bradycardia and other pathological conditions. The conclusion is clear - “Rinza” must be used in strict accordance with the instructions.
Overdose symptoms
According to the instructions for the drug "Rinza", an overdose of this medication in all forms of release is in most cases due to the presence of paracetamol in the composition and occurs, as a rule, after taking this substance in high doses. Among the possible manifestations of an overdose, one should note an increase in prothrombin time, an increase in the functions of liver transaminases, hepatonecrosis, pale skin, dyspeptic symptoms, and anorexia. If you suspect an overdose, you should immediately consult a specialist. As therapy, gastric lavage with further administration of the sorbent is usually recommended. Subsequently, symptomatic treatment is also prescribed, including the administration of methionine after 8-9 hours, and acetylcysteine after 12 hours.
We have given a list of indications for the use of Rinza above. Next, let's look at some recommendations.
Tablets or syrup
Rinza, used for patients from the age of fifteen, comes in tablet form. In addition, children in this age category can consume Rinzasip powder. And children after 6 years old can use a powder called Rinzasip Kids.
How many tablets can a child take per day? Experts do not recommend using adult dosages of medications to treat children under 15 years of age. Rinza tablets cannot be divided into two or four parts, because the concentration of active ingredients in this case may be uneven. Such actions can provoke the development of overdose symptoms and significantly worsen the person’s condition.
The adult form of the drug Rinzasip is not suitable for children aged 6 to 15 years, because it contains caffeine, which is not indicated for use in children due to its high ability to stimulate central nervous system excitation.
The use of Rinzasip Kids powder for children under 6 years of age is prohibited. For them, the dosage of paracetamol may be too high, which can seriously affect their well-being, causing a dangerous overdose.
Special children's syrups (for example, Nurofen, Panadol) should be used to treat children under 6 years of age, for which there is a special dosing system based on the weight and age characteristics of the patient.

Pharmacology
The instructions for use of Rinza position the drug as a combination drug, since all its active ingredients have different effects on the body.
Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic. For colds, this substance helps reduce headaches, muscle and joint pain, sore throat, and also lower body temperature.
It is quickly absorbed and binds to plasma proteins, reaching maximum concentration in the blood within 30-60 minutes after administration.
The caffeine in the medicine helps improve performance, relieve fatigue and drowsiness by stimulating the nervous system. It also accelerates and enhances the effect of paracetamol.
Phenylephrine helps ease nasal breathing and relieve swelling in the throat due to its vasoconstrictor effect, but may cause a slight increase in blood pressure.
Chlorphenamine also helps relieve swelling and hyperemia of the mucous membranes. Being a histamine receptor blocker, the substance also eliminates itching and discomfort in the eyes and nose. The substance also reduces the secretion of mucus in the nasopharynx, relieves spasm of the bronchi and smooth muscles, and also has a mild sedative effect.
