How it works
Daycold Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine. 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 accidentally give my child too much Daycold Syrup?
Exceeding the recommended dose of Daycold Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairments, and difficulty concentrating. Always use the calibrated cup provided with the medicine for accurate dosage administration. Do not use a kitchen teaspoon, as it cannot ensure proper measurement.
How should I store Daycold Syrup?
Store Daycold Syrup at room temperature in a dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. It's also essential to keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can I give my child two medicines together for their cough and fever?

Giving multiple medications with similar ingredients can lead to an overdose, potentially causing severe complications. Always consult your doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I give my child the same cough syrup as an adult?
Never administer medicines designed for adults to children. Special formulations designed for specific age groups are crucial to minimize potential side effects and ensure proper treatment for children. Always refer to the label instructions before administering any medicine to your child and consult with a doctor if needed.
