About Elcy-Cold Tablet

Elcy-Cold Tablet is used to treat the common cold and alleviate allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. A cold is a contagious upper respiratory infection that affects the nose, throat, sinuses, and windpipe (trachea). It is caused by a virus called Rhinovirus and can be easily spread through airborne transmission (coughing, sneezing), close contact with an infected person, and contaminated surfaces and objects. 

Elcy-Cold Tablet consists of four medicines: Ambroxol, Cetirizine, Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic), and Phenylephrine (a decongestant).
