Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab is used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Also, it inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain and fever. Some people may experience drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty in sleeping, and headache. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab

Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab is used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus.' The virus attacks the body through the mouth, nose, or eyes and spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab is composed of four medicines, namely: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Caffeine (a stimulant).  Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine acts as a common stimulant, which decreases sleepiness caused by Chlorpheniramine and speeds up the action of all the medicines present in Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab .

Your doctor will recommend how often you take Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty in sleeping, and headache. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually overtime. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab . If you have high blood pressure (hypertension),  liver or kidney disease, or coronary artery disease (heart disease), avoid using Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab as it may worsen your existing condition and symptoms. Consumption of alcohol should be avoided as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sleepiness. Do not take Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab if you have taken any MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline, and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days. Intake of more than 4 gm of paracetamol can damage your liver, so it is better to avoid the use of Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab in severe liver damage. Cetirizine present in the Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab can make you sleepy, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab . Phenylephrine present in Coldnac 650/10/4/30 Tab should be used with caution in patients with occlusive vascular disease (nerve/artery blockage), including Raynaud's phenomenon (decreased blood flow to the fingers).
