Introduction

Lecongest Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Caffeine, Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. It is used to treat common cold symptoms, providing temporary relief from stuffiness in the nose and relieving allergy symptoms like runny nose and watery eyes. It also helps to relieve pain and reduce fever. However, it is important to note that Lecongest Tablet is not a cure for the common cold, and it is only intended to provide temporary relief from symptoms.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Lecongest Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Lecongest Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Caffeine, Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Caffeine is a stimulant which increases the effectiveness of Paracetamol and decreases sleepiness due to Cetirizine. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing temporary relief from stuffiness in the nose.

Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications for cold. Call your doctor if your symptoms have not improved within seven days of treatment or if you develop a fast or uneven heartbeat, severe dizziness or anxiety, severe headache, fever, or rash. Along with taking Lecongest Tablet, do the following simple tips at home to get relief: steam inhalation, gargling with warm saltwater, apply vapor rubs on chest and back if needed, take enough rest, take warm food and fluid only, ensure adequate fluid intake, and advise hygiene measures to reduce spread: frequent hand-washing, avoiding sharing towels, pillowcase, etc.
