Coldover Syrup

Quick info

Coldover Syrup is a medication used to treat symptoms of common cold, hay fever, and other respiratory tract conditions in children. Coldover Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. It relieves symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body ache, and fever. It is commonly prescribed in children to treat these symptoms.

How it works

Coldover Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks histamine (a chemical messenger) to relieve allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Direction of use

Do not give Coldover Syrup if your child is less than 2 years of age. Consult your child's doctor before giving such medicines.
