About Flucol Plus Tablet

Flucol Plus Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and allergy (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by a virus known as rhinovirus. Allergy is a response of the immune system to foreign substances called allergens. This causes histamine release in the blood, which leads to a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy nose/throat, etc.

Flucol Plus Tablet contains Levocetirizine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol and Caffeine. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions, thereby helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the blood vessels, this helps provide relief from congestion. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine decreases the sleepiness caused by Levocetirizine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol. Together, Flucol Plus Tablet helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.

You are advised to take Flucol Plus Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, restlessness and sleepiness in some cases. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Flucol Plus Tablet contains paracetamol, do not take any other medicines containing paracetamol along with Flucol Plus Tablet unless prescribed. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Flucol Plus Tablet may cause drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert.

Medicinal Benefits

Flucol Plus Tablet is a combination of four drugs, namely: Levocetirizine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol and Caffeine.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels, this helps provide relief from congestion and stuffiness of the nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine is a stimulant that helps decrease the sleepiness caused by Levocetirizine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol. Together, Flucol Plus Tablet helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.
