I have a common cold, and my medicine Loxof AZ 500 has been banned. Levomac 500 is not working for me. Can you recommend an alternative medicine?

Loxof AZ is banned, and Levomac 500 won't help a common cold because most colds are viral. Try rest, fluids, steam, and paracetamol for relief, and if you have a high fever or worsening symptoms, consult a doctor who can prescribe a safe alternative antibiotic only if truly needed.
