Ephicol

Ephicol is a multi-ingredient oral capsule manufactured by Regal Pharmaceuticals, a generic pharmaceutical company based in Kenya. It is formulated as a cold and flu remedy containing four active ingredients: paracetamol (500 mg), caffeine anhydrous (30 mg), phenylephrine hydrochloride (5 mg), and chlorpheniramine maleate (2 mg). Paracetamol serves as an analgesic and antipyretic, while caffeine acts as a stimulant that potentiates the pain-relieving effects. Phenylephrine hydrochloride functions as a decongestant to reduce nasal swelling, and chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that alleviates allergic symptoms such as sneezing and watery eyes. The product is indicated for the symptomatic relief of the common cold, influenza, and associated allergic conditions.
