METAPECT COLD is a combination medication formulated to relieve symptoms associated with colds, flu, and seasonal allergies. It contains four active ingredients that work together to combat discomfort: Paracetamol (500mg), Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (5mg), Caffeine (30mg), and Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (25mg). Each component targets specific symptoms such as fever, nasal congestion, fatigue, and sneezing, providing comprehensive relief for those suffering from these conditions.

Key Ingredients and Their Functions

  • Paracetamol (500mg) – A widely used pain reliever and fever reducer, Paracetamol alleviates headaches, body aches, and fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain and inflammation.

  • Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (5mg) – As a decongestant, this ingredient reduces nasal swelling by constricting blood vessels, making breathing easier and relieving sinus pressure.

  • Caffeine (30mg) – A natural stimulant that helps counteract fatigue and drowsiness often associated with colds and flu. Additionally, it enhances the effectiveness of Paracetamol in pain relief.

  • Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (25mg) – An antihistamine that alleviates symptoms such as sneezing, an itchy throat, and a runny nose by blocking histamines responsible for allergic reactions. It also promotes better sleep, which aids in recovery.
     

Usage and Dosage

METAPECT COLD is available in tablet form and is typically taken orally. Adults are generally advised to take one tablet every 4 to 6 hours, depending on symptom severity. However, it is essential to follow healthcare provider recommendations or packaging instructions to avoid side effects or overdose, particularly due to the presence of Paracetamol.
