• actively struggling with the symptoms of colds and other respiratory infections.

Unlike aspirin or ibuprofenWhich belong to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the effect of paracetamol on the pressure has not been proven by scientistsAnd because it is believed that such a drug has no effect. The contraindications to the drug has not shown changes in blood pressure, so hypertensive and gipotoniki can take the tablets for dosage instructions given in the presence of readings.

Since it is unknown whether pressure increases or decreases Paracetamol, the CAS patients with diseases is recommended to mark individual organism response to receiving drug. Cases pronounced effect on blood pressure medication still had not been registered.

Acceptance of the drug in terms of pathologies of the cardiovascular system

Under reduced pressure and at elevated Paracetamol accepted by general schemes shown in the instructions. There are several forms release drug (syrups, powders, suspensions, suppositories, and tablets different concentrations of the active substance), but adults prefer to take tablets form.
Paracetamol at high pressure or in the case of hypotension when indicated adopted as follows:

• tablets take a dose of 325-500 mg per time (one tablet may contain 200, 325 or 500 mg of active ingredient, which is required to pay attention during treatment);
  
• the daily dose for an adult should not exceed 4 grams;
  
• the number of receptions per day is equal to 3-4 at intervals of 5 hours, but in urgent cases allowed reducing the gaps between the use of tablets;
  
• drug washed down with copious amounts of water, particularly in the case hyperthermia edema (fluid drawback can lead to the fact that the drug will not work);
  
• The drug is taken after a meal.

• Paracetamol (knocks temperature).
  
• Acetylsalicylic acid (Suppresses inflammation).
  
• Caffeine (increases the pressure due to vasoconstriction).
