Medicinal Benefits

Ascoril FLU Drop is primarily used to treat common cold symptoms. It is a combination drug containing Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine/antiallergic) and phenylephrine (decongestant), primarily used to treat common cold symptoms like runny nose, congestion, watery eyes, and sneezing. Chlorpheniramine is an anti-histaminemine that blocks histamine in the body, which is known to cause common cold symptoms. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing a stuffy nose. Together, both of them effectively reduce allergic and cold symptoms.
