How Alerid Cold Tablet works

Alerid Cold Tablet is a combination medicine that works through multiple mechanisms to relieve common cold symptoms. Cetirizine blocks histamine to reduce allergy symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose, paracetamol reduces fever and pain, and phenylephrine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to relieve congestion and improve breathing.
