Uses

Treatment of Common cold

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Ascoril Flu 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: Ascoril Flu calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Ascoril Flu 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: Ascoril Flu 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.
In Cough: Ascoril Flu 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: Ascoril Flu 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: Ascoril Flu 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.
