About Votcold Tablet 10's

Votcold Tablet 10's is a combination medicine used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and allergy (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by a virus known as rhinovirus. Allergy is a response of the immune system to foreign substances called allergens. This causes histamine release in the blood, which leads to a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy nose/throat, etc.

Votcold Tablet 10's contains Levocetirizine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol and Caffeine. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions, thereby helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the blood vessels, this helps provide relief from congestion. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine decreases the sleepiness caused by Levocetirizine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol. Together, Votcold Tablet 10's helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.

You are advised to take Votcold Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by the viruses, mainly 'rhinovirus' affecting your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than 6 years of age are at the most significant risk of cold, but healthy adults can also be affected by having 2-3 colds annually. In most cases, cold symptoms are recovered within a week or ten days. However, symptoms might last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens like dust, pollutants etc. Symptoms of a common cold might include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pain or a mild headache, sneezing, low-grade fever, and feeling unwell (malaise). 

Allergy: This occurs when your body is attacked or invaded by allergy-causing agents known as 'allergens'. These allergens cause the body to release a chemical messenger called 'histamine', which causes inflammation, redness, itchiness, stuffy nose, watery eyes, etc. Allergies can be caused due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, pollens of plants and seasonal allergies like hay fever.
