Dolocold DS Suspension is primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as rhinovirus.

Dolocold DS Suspension is a combination of Paracetamol, Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins. Phenylephrine works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions.

Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Dolocold DS Suspension or any other medicines. If you are pregnant, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Dolocold DS Suspension. Do not use Dolocold DS Suspension if you are breastfeeding without a doctor’s advice, as it may be excreted in breast milk and cause harm to the baby.
