About Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup

Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup belongs to the group of medications called 'anti-allergic agents' primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs or talks.

Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup contains Chlorpheniramine maleate and Phenylephrine hydrochloride. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergic symptoms. Phenylephrine hydrochloride helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby providing relief from a stuffy nose. Together, Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup helps provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and nasal congestion.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup depending on your condition. The most common side effects of Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup are drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth/nose/throat, upset stomach, constipation, or trouble sleeping. Most of these side effects of Nam Cold Z Forte Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, reach out to your doctor.
