Dexamol Cold And Flu

Dexamol Cold and Flu Tablets are formulated to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold and influenza, such as cough, nasal congestion, fever, and pain. The medication is available in two forms: daytime and nighttime. Each tablet contains a specific combination of active ingredients to provide relief at the respective times of day.

Active Ingredients:

• Day Treatment Caplets:
  • Paracetamol (325 mg): Acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever.
  • Guaifenesin (200 mg): Serves as an expectorant, helping to loosen mucus in the respiratory tract.
  • Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (25 mg): Functions as a decongestant, relieving nasal and ear congestion.
  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10 mg): Acts as a cough suppressant.
• Night Treatment Caplets:
  • Paracetamol (500 mg): Provides pain relief and reduces fever.
  • Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (25 mg): Alleviates nasal congestion.
  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10 mg): Suppresses cough.
  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2 mg): An antihistamine that helps dry up nasal secretions.

Day treatment caplets are designed to relieve pain, lower fever, and loosen mucus and nasal congestion, allowing the person’s normal breathing while active to free up the airways by expelling the congestive material with coughs and sneezing. Night treatment caplets are designed to suppress coughing and sneezing in order to allow the person to sleep more restfully, uninterrupted by coughs.
