Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of LCZ-Cold Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea and Vomiting: Try to take an LCZ-Cold Tablet with or after meals to lessen this effect.
Insomnia: If you experience difficulty sleeping, consider taking this medicine in the morning rather than before bed.

The LCZ-Cold Tablet contains four active ingredients that work in harmony:

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (500 mg): This ingredient manages pain and reduces fever by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause inflammation, pain and fever.
Phenylephrine (5 mg): As an α1-adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylephrine causes vasoconstriction or narrowing of blood vessels, which helps reduce inflammation and mucus production in your nose.
Caffeine (30 mg): This ingredient stimulates your central nervous system, heart, and muscles to fight fatigue. It also acts as a mild diuretic.
Diphenylpraline (25 mg): This antihistamine works by competing with histamine, the chemical responsible for allergy symptoms, halting it from attaching to receptors.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking LCZ-Cold Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
