C-10 Cold Tablet Patient Guide

Overview

C-10 Cold Tablet is a medication developed by Nukind Healthcare Pvt Ltd to help alleviate symptoms associated with general health issues. This guide is designed to provide you with essential information about the tablet, its uses, and how to use it safely.

Uses

C-10 Cold Tablet contains two active ingredients: Cetirizine (10mg) and Paracetamol (325mg). Cetirizine is an antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms of allergies, itching, and runny nose. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

The tablet is intended for general health use, which may include:

• Relieving symptoms of allergies, such as runny nose, sneezing, and itching
• Reducing pain and fever
• Providing relief from cold and flu symptoms

Mechanism of Action

Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate, leading to increased mucus production and other allergy symptoms. By blocking histamine, Cetirizine helps to reduce these symptoms.

Paracetamol, on the other hand, works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and fever.
