How Zitcold Syrup works

Zitcold DS Syrup is a combination of three medicines: chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine. It relieves common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like a 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 that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

What are the common side effects of Zitcold DS Syrup?

How should Zitcold DS Syrup be taken and can it be stopped once symptoms improve?

Who should avoid Zitcold DS Syrup?

Zitcold DS Syrup should be avoided or used only with medical advice in people who are allergic to any of its ingredients, have severe liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma, or prostate enlargement causing difficulty in urination. Extra caution is also needed in pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children.

Can Zitcold DS Syrup be taken after food?

What should I do if I miss a dose of Zitcold DS Syrup?
