How it works
Bencold Plus Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine which relieves common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that 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 are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Bencold Plus Syrup by mistake?
Overdose of Bencold Plus Syrup can lead to serious side effects, such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive defects, and difficulty concentrating. Always follow the prescribed dosage. Use the calibrated cup provided with the medicine for accurate dosing. Do not use a kitchen teaspoon; it will not provide an adequate dose estimate.
How can I store Bencold Plus Syrup?
Store Bencold Plus Syrup at room temperature in a dry, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Keep all medications out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two medicines together?
Do not administer more than one cough or cold medication at a time unless advised by a healthcare professional. This is because both types of medicines might contain the same ingredients, which could lead to an overdose and potentially serious side effects for your child. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medicine.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medications intended for adults to your child. Always use medicines specifically formulated for children, as these formulations will be less potent and have minimal side effects. Before giving the medication to your child, carefully review the label's instructions on dosage and administration.
Can Bencold Plus Syrup make my child sleepy?
Bencold Plus Syrup may cause mild drowsiness in some children, which could potentially induce sleep. This should not be used to induce sleep in a child; instead, it's best to consult your child's doctor if symptoms persist or worsen after treatment.
