Medicinal Benefits

Fexocold Tablet 10's is composed of three medicines, namely Fexofenadine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Fexofenadine is an anti-allergic drug that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion or stiffness. 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 'prostaglandin's responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nostrils and the nasal passage and reducing stuffy nose. Together, Fexocold Tablet 10's can effectively treat common cold and allergy symptoms.
