Patients with high blood sugar can take Compound Paracetamol and Aminophylline Capsules, but it is recommended to do so under a doctor's guidance. Compound Paracetamol and Aminophylline Capsules are compound preparations, whose main ingredients include paracetamol, amantadine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine maleate, artificial bezoar, caffeine, etc. This medication has functions of antipyresis, analgesia, anti-viral activity, and relieving cold symptoms. The drug itself does not directly affect blood glucose levels. However, patients with high blood sugar may have other concurrent health issues, so its use should follow an evaluation by a physician. Meanwhile, patients should monitor their blood glucose levels during medication, maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle to keep blood sugar stable. If any discomfort or concerns arise during use, patients should promptly consult a doctor or pharmacist for advice.
