Benefits of Coldact Capsule

In Cough
Coldact either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion
Coldact thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms
Coldact relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.
In Allergic rhinitis
Coldact blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy
Coldact calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching
Coldact relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma
Coldact reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

How Coldact Capsule works

Coldact products typically combine an analgesic/antipyretic to reduce fever and pain with an antihistamine to reduce sneezing/runny nose and a decongestant to relieve nasal blockage. Exact mechanism depends on the specific Coldact capsule variant and its ingredients.

How to take Coldact Capsule

Take exactly as directed on the label or by a doctor. Usually taken after food with water; do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Avoid taking with other cold/flu medicines containing similar ingredients (especially paracetamol).

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. It can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Coldact Capsule

Most side effects of Coldact are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Drowsiness
  • dizziness
  • dry mouth
  • nausea
  • constipation
  • palpitations
  • increased blood pressure
  • headache

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
