Busacold Tablet

Busacold Tablet is primarily used to treat the common cold and allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes or itchy/watery nose and throat. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by 'rhinovirus'. The virus spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Busacold Tablet contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Caffeine acts as a stimulant and increases alertness.

Busacold Tablet can be taken with or without food or as directed by the physician. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Busacold Tablet based on your medical condition.

Busacold Tablet is composed of four medicines, namely: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant), Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), and Caffeine (a stimulant).

Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Caffeine acts as a stimulant, which decreases sleepiness and increases alertness.
