Dr. Yang Shuwen
It is not recommended to take Lianhua Qingwen capsules and Amantadine, Caffeine, and Paracetamol capsules together. Lianhua Qingwen capsules are primarily used to treat wind-heat感冒 (a TCM pattern of common cold), while Amantadine, Caffeine, and Paracetamol capsules are mainly used for viral colds. Although both medications are used for treating colds, they should be taken according to the patient's specific condition. Taking them simultaneously may increase the risk of side effects.
