Indication Dosage

Cough, cold, and flu medicines are typically used to relieve symptoms associated with respiratory illnesses such as the common cold, flu, or bronchitis. These medications may have different indications depending on their specific active ingredients, but some common indications of cough, cold, and flu medicines include:

• Cough relief: Many cough medicines are formulated to suppress coughing by blocking the cough reflex in the brain. They may be used to treat dry coughs or coughs associated with minor respiratory illnesses.
• Congestion relief: Decongestants are commonly used to relieve nasal congestion and sinus pressure associated with colds and flu. They work by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and allows for easier breathing.
• Fever reduction: Medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be used to reduce fever and relieve pain associated with colds and flu.
• Sore throat relief: Some cough and cold medicines contain ingredients such as throat lozenges or numbing agents that may provide relief for sore throats.
