How Criticold Syrup works
Criticold Kid Syrup is a combination of five medicines: Ambroxol, desloratadine, paracetamol, phenylephrine and zinc gluconate which relieve cold symptoms. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Desloratadine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Zinc gluconate is a nutritional supplement which releases zinc ions into the throat. These ions prevents the cold virus from reproducing due to which the virus dies off faster and the cold ends sooner. |
