Colep Tablet 10's

Question 1

How does Colep Tablet 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Colep Tablet 10's contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine.

It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
