About Zincold Syrup 60 ml

Zincold Syrup 60 ml belongs to a class of medications called ‘Cough, and cold preparations’ used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes and blocked nose.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that contracts and narrows the blood vessels of nasal passages and airways, reducing swelling and stuffy nose.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by a virus, primarily rhinoviruses, which affects the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children under six are at the greatest risk of catching a cold, but healthy adults can also catch 2-3 colds yearly. Most people recover from cold symptoms within a week or ten days. Symptoms may last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens such as pollutants, dust, etc. Common cold symptoms include sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pains, low fever, mild headache, feeling unwell, and a stuffy or runny nose. In some cases, nasal discharge may thicken and turn yellow or green, but this does not indicate bacterial infection.

Allergies: These occur when foreign elements that cause allergies (allergens) attack and invade our bodies, causing histamines to be released. Swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose, throat, and eyes are caused by the chemical messenger 'histamines.' Allergies are commonly caused by chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, dust, pollen hairs, seasonal allergies such as hay fever, and other factors.
