About Crocin Cold & Flu Max Tablet 15's

Crocin Cold & Flu Max Tablet 15's is ac combination medication used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, 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'.
