chlorpheniramine maleate + paracetamol + phenylephrine hydrochloride

ADCOLD DS is a combination pharmaceutical product developed by Adwin Life Care, primarily indicated for the symptomatic relief of the common cold and upper respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients. It is a multi-ingredient formulation typically containing an antipyretic and analgesic (paracetamol), a nasal decongestant (phenylephrine hydrochloride), and a first-generation antihistamine (chlorpheniramine maleate). Paracetamol works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system to alleviate fever and pain. Phenylephrine acts as a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist, causing vasoconstriction in the nasal passages to reduce congestion. Chlorpheniramine serves as a competitive H1 receptor antagonist, mitigating allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. The "DS" designation typically refers to a "Double Strength" formulation, providing higher concentrations of active ingredients per dose compared to standard pediatric versions.
