1. WHAT IS THE DRUG Caffetin Cold AND WHAT IS IT FOR?

Caffetin Cold is a combined preparation containing four active components: paracetamol pseudoephedrine, dextromethorphan and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Paracetamol reduces pain and lowers body temperature. Pseudoephedrine

reduces nasal congestion and ensures patency of nasal and respiratory tracts. Dextromethorphan suppresses cough caused by irritation in the throat or bronchi. Ascorbic acid can be effective during an infection when vitamin C levels are thought to be low. Caffetin Cold is used to relieve cold and flu symptoms (headache, muscle pain, sore throat, nasal congestion (stuffy nose), fever and dry cough).
