Xtpara Cold Tablet 10's is used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It also shrinks the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Thus, it provides relief from congestion and decreases excess mucus production. Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep), blurred vision, constipation and dry mouth. 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 Xtpara Cold Tablet 10's

Xtpara Cold Tablet 10's is used to treat symptoms of the common cold 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'. 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.

Xtpara Cold Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs, namely: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine (decongestant) and Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine/antiallergic). 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 that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine belongs to the class of decongestants that works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Thus, it provides relief from congestion and decreases excess mucus production. 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.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and nasal congestion.
