Ambrolite Cold Syrup

Drug | Syrup

Symptomatic relief of common cold and cough associated with nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat and fever/body ache (depends on exact formulation).

Cold-cough combinations typically work by reducing nasal congestion (decongestant action), suppressing cough (antitussive action) and/or loosening mucus (expectorant/mucolytic action). Antihistamines may reduce sneezing and runny nose, while analgesic/antipyretic components help relieve fever and body pain. Exact mechanism depends on the ingredients present.

Take as directed by a physician. Measure the dose with the provided cup/spoon; usually taken 2–3 times daily. Can be taken with or without food; take with food if it causes stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose and do not use for prolonged periods without medical advice.
