About Solvin Cold AF Oral Drops 15 ml

Solvin Cold AF Oral Drops 15 ml belongs to the combination medication called 'anti-allergic' primarily used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person.
