Uses of Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension in children

Benefits of Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension for your child

In Treatment of Fever

Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension helps reduce high body temperature and relieve headache, body ache, and malaise. It works by blocking the pain and fever pathways in the brain responsible for the rise in body temperature.

In Treatment of Common cold

Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension is a combination medicine that effectively relieves symptoms of the common cold, such as a blocked nose, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion or stuffiness. It helps loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. It also shrinks the blood vessels and provides rapid relief that lasts for several hours. These actions make breathing easier.

Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes, and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by your doctor, and do not stop using it unless you are advised otherwise.

Side effects of Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension in children

How Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension works

Zorgan-Plus Oral Suspension contains two active ingredients: paracetamol, and promethazine. These ingredients together relieve common cold symptoms.
