    Ferrero Nicola Vico Equense | Best Cold Medications Ingredients

    Life seems hard when you deal with headache and cold at the same time, especially when if you have lots of work to complete. Achy-jointed and you don’t have the energy to move a bit. Even you move towards pharmacy self still you are not sure which medicine can cure your cold and fly. In every season, most people deal with cold and flu and usually take the medicine with any accurate knowledge or advice. If this is the case, no worries, we are here to help you. 

    Let’s find out a few common ingredients you can look for cold and flu medication with Ferrero Nicola Vico Equense.

    1. Pseudoephedrine

    Pseudoephedrine is an ingredient, which is helpful for you to dry up a runny nose. Do you know how it works? It actually does that through vasoconstriction, or by compressing the blood vessels in your nose.

    And this is how it successfully stops fluid leaking out and blocked sinuses.

    However, there is one problem with pseudoephedrine and that is its effectiveness, which may worse blocked nose condition when each dose wears off, said by Ferrero Nicola Shedir.



    2. Phenylephrine

    Phenylephrine is also very helpful in healing cold and flu, but not as effective as pseudoephedrine. According to experts including Ferrero Nicola Shedir, these both drugs only helpful when it comes to calm symptoms, it may or may not treat the illness completely from the root.



    3. Paracetamol and ibuprofen

    Paracetamol and ibuprofen are the most common pain killers that ease cold and flu symptoms. Particularly, paracetamol helpful in reducing fever, and when we talk about ibuprofen, it particularly provides relief from sore throats as it is anti-inflammatory. However, the most important thing is to consider how much dosage you're taking.

    You may find ibuprofen and paracetamol in various cold and flu medicines. Therefore, in case you take them individually, it may cause a risk of overdosing, which eventually damage your kidneys and liver.

    Tablets are not the only option you have, you can go for some other remedies as well, including flavored powders that you can consume by dissolving in hot water, along with paracetamol.



    4. Nasal sprays

    Some sprays can do a similar job to decongestants as they contain vasoconstrictor drugs that can easily dry up the nose. Nasal spray directly delivers to the nasal membranes which experts consider the better option as it works without affecting the rest of your body.

    Experts consider salt water sprays as a better choice as they provide safe and effective results. Further, they say, you can easily find most nasal sprays in pharmacies that only have saline in them and they're terrific.
