How it Works

Coldaid Oral Suspension contains two active medicines: Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. These two ingredients work together to provide relief from the symptoms of the common cold. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It restricts the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for inducing pain and fever. The second ingredient, Phenylephrine, is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
