Lcz Cold Syrup belongs to the class of cough and cold medications primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as “rhinoviruses”. 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. Allergies are caused by the 'allergens' that release 'histamine' to release in the blood, thereby causing a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching nose/throat, etc.

Lcz Cold Syrup is a combination of five drugs, namely: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine), Sodium citrate (mucolytic agent), and menthol (cooling agent). 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 is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. 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. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Menthol is a cooling agent that relieves minor irritation in the throat and provides a cooling sensation.

Take Lcz Cold Syrup with or without food as advised by your doctor. Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, mild headache, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep), blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and dry mouth.
