About Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension

Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension is used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies, such as 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. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension is a combination of three drugs, namely, Phenylephrine (decongestant), Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Cetirizine (antihistamine/antiallergic). Phenylephrine works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Thereby providing relief from congestion and decreasing excess mucus production. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and fever. Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to relieve symptoms of allergy.

Use Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often your child needs to take Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension based on his/her medical condition. Sometimes, Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects of Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If your child is allergic to Phenylephrine, Paracetamol, Cetirizine or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If your child is suffering from any medical condition or is under any specific medication, please inform your doctor before using this medicine. Please do not give more than the prescribed dose of Cetrizine Cold Oral Suspension to your child.
