Frequently asked questions
What is Nikcold Syrup?
Nikcold Syrup contains a combination of three active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine, Paracetamol (or Acetaminophen), and Phenylephrine. This formulation provides relief from various cold symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, fever, and headaches. Chlorpheniramine acts as an antiallergic, relieving allergy-related symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which constricts small blood vessels, offering relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nasal passages.

Nikcold Syrup is generally considered safe for most patients.
