Zetvin Cold Tablet works by combining two active ingredients. Paracetamol is an analgesic that helps to relieve pain and reduce fever. Cetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Together, they provide effective relief from cold and allergy symptoms.

The pharmacological action of Paracetamol involves inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals that promote inflammation and pain. Cetirizine works by selectively blocking H1 receptors, preventing the action of histamine that leads to allergy symptoms. This dual action makes Zetvin Cold Tablet effective for managing both pain and allergic reactions.

• Reduces Fever — Paracetamol effectively lowers body temperature.
• Relieves Pain — Helps alleviate headaches and body aches.
• Controls Allergic Symptoms — Cetirizine reduces sneezing and itching.
