What Is Colds

Hi, What is white oblong or barrel pill with a split in middle; on each side of split is A7C. Nothing on the reverse side. Thanks ## Hello, I believe I have identified your pill as Benylin day tablets (possibly from Ireland). Based on my research, each white (day) tablet contains the following active ingredients: Paracetamol (500 mg) + Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (60 mg). Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant, but it is well known for shrinking swollen nasal mucous membranes, so it is often used as a decongestant. It reduces tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion commonly associated with colds or allergies. Other beneficial effects may include increasing the drainage of sinus secretions, and opening of obstructed Eustachian tubes. The same vasoconstriction action can also result in hy...

He has a slight colds or fever can I give him this kind of medicine (symdex-D 325 mg/2mg tablet) and how much the dosage should he take in a day... ## I am having difficulty finding information on this medication, I have discovered that it contains Paracetamol and Phenylpranolamine, but it seems there is also a third ingredient and I cannot find out what it is. However, based on those ingredients, the dizziness can be a normal side effect, as well as nausea and drowsiness. In the U.S. Phenylpropanolamine is no longer available without a prescription, because it was found to greatly increase the risk of stroke in your women.

I took this medication for 2 days and stopped it, I had broken out with a very red rash on my leg, and didn't get any new meds for my cold, is there a problem stopping . ## This is a generic for Augmentin, it is an antibiotic and it will not do anything to treat a cold, since colds are caused by viruses and antibiotics are not effective against them. You can learn more Augmentin details here. And that rash could be the sign of an allergic reaction to this medication. You should consult your doctor to be certain, because it may be something that you have to avoid taking in the future. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can i take this antibiotic for a common cold, stuffy head, chest and throat ? Will it help? ## Hello, Mindy! How are you doing? I'm sorry that you're sick. But no, an antibiotic will not do anything to treat a cold, or alleviate cold symptoms. The common cold is actually cause by a virus, not a bacterial infection, as explained by the NIH. They also advise against taking an antibiotic, unless your doctor confirms the presence of an infection, because taking one, when it isn't needed, or won't help can cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. That could create a problem, if you develop infections in the future. Colds can really only be treated symptomatically, by taking decongestants, as long as your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with?
