Therapeutic indications

Pirestop is used in the symptomatic treatment of flu, colds and related feverish and painful states, with a decongestant action on the upper upper airways.

Dosage and Posology

Pirestop is administered as follows:

  • Adults and children over 12 years: 1 sachet every 4-6 hours and up to a maximum of 3 sachets in 24 hours.

However, in the case of ingestion of very high doses of paracetamol (greater than 15 g), the most commonly encountered complication is liver damage, which usually occurs 2-4 days after intake. The early symptoms are nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain: the appropriate therapy recommended is gastric lavage using specific antidotes such as acetylcysteine or methionine.
