Product introduction
Namcold FX Tablet is a three-in-one combination medicine that brings together an antihistamine, a decongestant and a fever-and-pain reliever in a single tablet. It is commonly used for the cluster of symptoms that show up together during a common cold or seasonal allergy — a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and mild fever or body ache. Taking one tablet addresses several symptoms at once rather than needing separate medicines. It is sold only against a doctor's prescription.
Storage: Store below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.

How Namcold FX Tablet works
Namcold FX Tablet combines three medicines that act together. Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine to relieve sneezing, itching and watery eyes; phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows swollen blood vessels in the nose to ease congestion; and paracetamol reduces the production of chemicals in the brain that trigger pain and fever.
