Mihlali Ndamase darling, please come to us in Centurion next time uneflu. Many others especially thesebcorporate pharmacies (where they dont support safety checks and rush with queues) wont check, or ask the necessary questions to verify duplications and interactions. This service doesn't exist there...

ANALYSIS:
The flustat already has vitamin C /ascorbic acid. That's duplication. Anymore and your just buying expensive urine.

The flustat already has acetaminophen/paracetamol for pain and fever no need for ibuprofen. That's potentiation.

Flustat has an antihistamine and Actophlem also has a similar antihistamine. That's duplication.

Lastly theophylline is a problematic substance in general especially for those who take caffeine and or smoke. Avoid when possible.

Guys before you load up on medicines (self-medicate) please verify your safety with an MTM pharmacist... polypharmacy is not good.

Your liver and kidneys will thank you. When you're still young, they will take the hit but soon they will start complaining... and by then it's irreversible.

There's a SILENT PROFESSIONAL ROLE that you can't see, which exists & can ONLY be performed by pharmacists. It's called "safety checks" and its the reason we cant just slap a label and give you medicine in under 60 seconds. It takes more than a few minutes to ascertain.
When a pharmacists looks at a prescription here are 27 questions they silently ask themselves before taking action:

Clinical concerns:
1. Is this API warranted for humans or animals?
2. Is the dose & dosage form appropriate to patient's age/ condition?
3. Is there liver/ kidney impairment that may require dose adjustments?
4. Is the frequency/interval appropriate?
5. Is the duration of treatment correct?
6. Are all the medicines safe to combine?
7. Is the patient allergic to anything?
8. Is this patient taking anything else that will clash therapeutically?
9. Is the diagnosis stated? is treatment dosing empirical, prophylactic?
10. Does the regimen suit the diagnosis according to EDL/STG or other national guidelines? or is it off-label use? research trial?
11. Are there any gaps in treatment? immediate pain not relieved? vitamin / mineral / other supplementation not added? CAMs?
12. Does the patient know their diagnosis & consent to treatment?
13. Will leftovers be discard correctly?
14. Do we have stock? Is it a national or local shortage?
15. Are alternatives acceptable?
16. Does the prescriber know about bioequivalent options? should I call?
17. Does this patient know how to take / stop this treatment once theyre home?
18. Does the patient know ADRs & how to report them if needed?

Ethical concerns:
19. Can this treatment be misused?
20. Will patient remain safe/ able to use device on their own?
21. Is the patient lying/ misrepresenting something?
22. Is the patient in any danger needing referral (GBV)?
23. Will storage / food conditions be met at home?

Legal concerns:
24. Is this prescription valid /legible/ forged?
25. Have all the patient, prescriber & product particulars been provided/ signed?
26. Are there any scheduling issues?
27. Is the prescribed quantity lawful?

and a few more still...

Conclusion:
be patient at the pharmacy
