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). Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps loosen mucus in the airways. Cetirizine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a natural chemical in the body involved in allergies. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that helps relieve pain and reduce fever. Phenylephrine narrows the blood vessels in the nasal passages and relieves nasal congestion.
