About B-Hold Tablet 15's

B-Hold Tablet 15's is primarily used to treat the common cold and allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes or 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 person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

B-Hold Tablet 15's contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' 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.

B-Hold Tablet 15's can be taken with or without food or as directed by the physician. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take B-Hold Tablet 15's based on your medical condition. In some cases, B-Hold Tablet 15's may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and headache.
