It is important to realise that many cough and cold remedies contain paracetamol. Carefully read the ingredients on the bottle to ensure that you are taking no more than 4g of paracetamol a day - that is normally eight tablets in four doses over a day. Also take note that some prescription medicines interact with cough and cold remedies. This includes blood pressure medicines and anti-depressants.
