Criticold Orange Flavour Oral Drops 15ml are given orally.

Criticold Orange Flavour Oral Drops 15ml contain two active ingredients that work together to alleviate symptoms associated with common cold and other respiratory conditions:

• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (5 mg): A sympathomimetic decongestant that stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. This results in vasoconstriction which lessens blood flow, decreases inflammation and swelling of nasal passages making breathing through the nose easier.
• Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2 mg): An alkylamine antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine at H1 receptors. Histamine is released during allergic reactions causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. By blocking its action, chlorpheniramine reduces these symptoms. It also has anticholinergic properties that help dry up watery secretions.

• Keep Criticold Orange Flavour Oral Drops 15ml in a dry place at room temperature.
• Protect it from light exposure to maintain its potency.
• Always remember to keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• To better manage your child's symptoms, help them avoid potential allergens like dust and pollen, which could exacerbate symptoms like runny nose or itchy eyes. This could include keeping windows closed during pollen season or regular dusting and cleaning at home.
• Keeping your child well-hydrated is beneficial, as dehydration can worsen congestion. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids like water or warm herbal tea, which can help soothe the throat and clear nasal passages.
