Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. IG-Cold Syrup may be taken with or without food.

How IG-Cold Syrup works

IG-Cold Syrup is composed of antipyretic, analgesic, antiallergic, expectorants, and soothing agents. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and fever. When human body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, house dust, animal dander etc.), it produces a chemical called histamine causing runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, itching, skin rashes etc. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine, thereby relieving these symptoms. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the small blood vessels which provides temporary relief from inflammation (redness and swelling) and discomfort. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic medication. It thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out. Ammonium chloride works by decreasing the stickiness of phlegm and helps remove it from the airways. Menthol works by producing a mild anesthetic action causing numbness and a cooling sensation in the area of application.
