Benefits of Zincold Plus Syrup

Treatment of Common cold
Zincold Plus Syrup is a combination medicine that effectively relieves symptoms of common cold such as blocked nose, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion or stuffiness.

This medicine is safe and effective. Zincold Plus Syrup usually starts to work within a few minutes and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop using it unless you are advised to by your doctor. Taking this medicine enables you to live your life more freely without worrying so much about things that set off your symptoms.

How to use Zincold Plus Syrup

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. Zincold Plus Syrup is to be taken on an empty stomach.

How Zincold Plus Syrup works

Zincold Plus Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Cetirizine, Paracetamol, Phenylephrine and Zinc Gluconate which relieve cold symptoms. Cetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Zinc Gluconate is a nutritional supplement which releases zinc ions into the throat. These ions prevent the cold virus from reproducing due to which the virus dies off faster and the cold ends sooner.

Frequently asked questions

What is Zincold Plus Syrup used for?

Zincold Plus Syrup has been used for the treatment of common cold symptoms. It may help relieve a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, nasal congestion, fever and body pain associated with a cold. However, this exact medicine combination appears on the CDSCO banned-drugs list in India and should be reviewed before use.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup help relieve a blocked or stuffy nose?

Yes, Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to relieve a blocked or stuffy nose associated with the common cold. It may also help with other cold symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, fever and body pain. However, this exact combination is listed as prohibited by CDSCO in India, so its current regulatory status should be considered.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup help with a runny nose and sneezing?

Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to relieve a runny nose and sneezing that occur with the common cold. It may also provide relief from watery eyes and nasal congestion. If these symptoms are severe, continue for a long time or repeatedly return, consult your doctor because they may be caused by another condition requiring evaluation.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup help with watery eyes during a common cold?

Yes, Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to provide relief from watery eyes occurring along with other common cold symptoms. It may also help with sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, fever and body pain. If watery eyes persist after your other cold symptoms improve, consult your doctor to determine whether another condition is responsible.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup help with fever associated with a common cold?

Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to relieve fever occurring with common cold symptoms. It also contains ingredients intended to relieve nasal congestion, sneezing, a runny nose and watery eyes. If your fever persists, becomes high or is accompanied by symptoms that concern you, consult your doctor rather than continuing to manage it on your own.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup help with body pain during a common cold?

Yes, Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to relieve pain associated with the common cold while also managing symptoms such as fever, sneezing, watery eyes and a blocked or runny nose. If body pain is severe, persists despite improvement in your cold or occurs with other unusual symptoms, consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Is Zincold Plus Syrup meant to treat the common cold itself or its symptoms?

Zincold Plus Syrup has been used to provide relief from symptoms associated with the common cold, including a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, fever and pain. Common colds usually improve with time. If your symptoms persist, worsen or repeatedly return, consult your doctor to check whether another illness could be causing them.

Can I take Zincold Plus Syrup with another medicine containing paracetamol?

Do not take another paracetamol-containing medicine with Zincold Plus Syrup without first consulting your doctor, as Zincold Plus Syrup already contains paracetamol. Many medicines for cold, flu, fever and pain may also contain paracetamol. Taking more than one such product can unintentionally increase your total paracetamol intake, so always check the ingredients of other medicines carefully.

Should I tell my doctor about my other medicines before taking Zincold Plus Syrup?

Yes, tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking before using Zincold Plus Syrup. Because Zincold Plus Syrup contains several active ingredients, another cold, allergy, fever or pain medicine may contain the same or similar ingredients. Sharing your complete medicine list helps your doctor identify unnecessary duplication or potentially unsuitable medicine combinations.

Can I use Zincold Plus Syrup for symptoms that do not improve?

Do not rely on Zincold Plus Syrup for symptoms that persist or continue to worsen. Common cold symptoms usually improve over time, while persistent fever, congestion, sneezing, pain or other symptoms may have another cause. Consult your doctor if you are not getting better or if your symptoms repeatedly return after initially improving.

Can Zincold Plus Syrup be used for every runny or blocked nose?

No, Zincold Plus Syrup should not be assumed to be suitable for every cause of a runny or blocked nose. These symptoms can occur with common colds, allergies, sinus problems and other conditions. If your nasal symptoms are persistent, severe or repeatedly return, consult your doctor so the underlying cause can be identified before treatment.
