NAMCOLD TABLET

NAMCOLD TABLET is a combination of respiratory medication used to treat common cold symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, stuffy nose, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs, or talks.

NAMCOLD TABLET consists of three medicines, namely: Nimesulide (pain killer), Pseudoephedrine (decongestant), and Cetirizine (anti-allergic). Nimesulide works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin (PGs) that is responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation (swelling and redness) in our body. Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. It works by reducing the swelling of blood vessels in your nose, this helps mucus and airflow more freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you breathe more easily. Cetirizine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic) drug that reduces the effects of histamine, a chemical substance that causes allergies like runny nose and skin rash. Together, it relieves the common cold symptoms.

Take NAMCOLD TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take NAMCOLD TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions.
