Product introduction

Act Cold Capsule may be given to your child with or without food. Administer it in the exact dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose and duration of the treatment will depend on your child’s condition and how they respond to the medicine. Continue to give the medicine for as long as the doctor has recommended.

Contact the doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects experienced by the child.

It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking Act Cold Capsule. Before giving the medicine to your child, let your doctor know if they have any kidney or liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for the child.
