What are Swift Cold Cease A granules (cold, fever)?

Swift Cold Cease stands out as a highly effective medication designed to provide comprehensive relief for various cold symptoms. Its integrated approach tackles multiple discomforts associated with colds, including cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, and body aches. The synergistic action of its active ingredients is key to addressing specific symptoms: Guaifenesin aids in loosening and expelling phlegm, while Dihydrocodeine phosphate targets the cough reflex for relief. Additionally, dl-methylephedrine hydrochloride assists in opening bronchial passages, promoting easier breathing and further easing coughing. The inclusion of Acetaminophen helps manage fever and alleviate common cold-related pains such as headaches and sore throats. Chlorpheniramine maleate contributes by addressing symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. Anhydrous caffeine is added not only for headache relief but also to provide a mild stimulant effect.
