Actifast Paediatric Suspension 60 ml is used to relieve symptoms of the common cold and allergies in children, including sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, fever, headache, body aches, congestion, and watery eyes.
The common cold is a viral respiratory infection primarily caused by rhinoviruses, which spread easily through droplets when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or talks.
Together, these ingredients provide effective relief from cold and allergy symptoms to help your child feel better.

- Managing allergic rhinitis symptoms like nasal itching, watery eyes, and sinus pressure.

Benefits of Actifast Paediatric Suspension 60 ml
Actifast Paediatric Suspension combines three effective medicines to relieve multiple symptoms:
- Paracetamol: A mild analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers responsible for these symptoms.
- Phenylephrine: A decongestant that works by narrowing blood vessels, helping to relieve nasal congestion and reduce mucus production.
- Chlorpheniramine: An antihistamine that blocks histamine, the substance responsible for allergic reactions, providing relief from sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and nasal stiffness.
Together, these ingredients effectively address pain, fever, congestion, and allergy symptoms associated with colds and allergic conditions in children.
How Actifast Paediatric Suspension 60 ml Works
Actifast Paediatric Suspension contains three active ingredients: Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine, each targeting different symptoms.
Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic by blocking the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers in the brain responsible for pain and fever.
Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passages, providing relief from congestion and reducing excess mucus production.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions, helping to relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and nasal congestion.
Together, these ingredients effectively reduce pain, fever, congestion, and allergy symptoms, providing comprehensive relief from cold and allergy discomfort in children.
Side effects
- Drowsiness or dizziness (due to Chlorpheniramine)
- Dry mouth, nose, or throat
- Nausea or upset stomach
- In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing
