About TUSCOLD TABLET

TUSCOLD TABLET 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.

TUSCOLD TABLET 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.

Take TUSCOLD TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take TUSCOLD TABLET based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep), blurred vision, constipation and dry mouth. Most of these side effects of TUSCOLD TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to TUSCOLD TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, it is advised to inform your doctor before using TUSCOLD TABLET . Do not use TUSCOLD TABLET in breastfeeding mothers without a doctor’s advice as it may be excreted in breast milk and cause harm to the baby. TUSCOLD TABLET is not recommended for children below 4 years. Please do not take more than the prescribed dose of TUSCOLD TABLET as it may cause liver damage and can be lethal.  If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), blockage in stomach or intestines, enlarged prostate gland, pheochromocytoma (tumour in the adrenal glands), kidney, liver, heart or urinary problems, inform your doctor before taking TUSCOLD TABLET .
