About New Dolo-Cold Tablet

New Dolo-Cold Tablet is primarily used to treat the common cold and allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, or an itchy/watery nose and throat. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by rhinovirus. The virus spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a sick person sneezes, coughs, or talks.

New Dolo-Cold Tablet contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Caffeine acts as a stimulant and increases alertness.

New Dolo-Cold Tablet can be taken with or without food or as directed by the physician. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take New Dolo-Cold Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, New Dolo-Cold Tablet may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and headache.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat immune-boosting foods: To strengthen your immune system, include citrus fruits, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and leafy greens.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and warm soups to keep your body well-hydrated and help alleviate congestion.
  • Limit processed and sugary foods: These can weaken your immune system and increase mucus production, making it harder to fight off colds and allergies.
  • Avoid allergens: If you have allergies, avoid common triggers like pollen, dust, pet dander, and strong scents.
  • Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of germs that can cause colds and allergies.
  • Use a humidifier. Moisturising the air helps ease nasal congestion, especially during colder, drier months.
  • Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support your body’s natural immune response.
  • Exercise regularly: Moderate physical activity boosts your immunity, but avoid overdoing it when you’re already feeling sick.
