Hatric 3 Tablet, sold as New Hatric 3, is Aristo’s cold tablet. The name still says 3, but the tablet now has four medicines, not three. Each one has paracetamol 500 mg, diphenhydramine 25 mg, phenylephrine 5 mg, and caffeine 30 mg. Paracetamol eases fever, headache, and body aches. Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, dries a runny nose and sneezing. Phenylephrine shrinks swollen nasal vessels so the nose feels less blocked. Caffeine is there to sharpen the pain relief and to offset some of the drowsiness. It is for a short cold. It is a prescription medicine.

How Does It Work?
Paracetamol blocks the chemical signals that raise pain and fever. Diphenhydramine blocks histamine, so the nose drips less, sneezing settles, and it also makes many people sleepy. Phenylephrine tightens small blood vessels in the nose lining, which eases stuffiness for a while. Caffeine adds to the pain relief and pushes against that sleepiness. None of these four kills the cold virus. They only make the days easier while the cold passes.
Directions For Use
Take only the dose your doctor sets. Do not take extra because the nose is still blocked.
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it.
It may be taken with or without food. Food is kinder if the stomach feels sour.
Leave a gap of at least 4 to 6 hours between doses. Do not exceed the daily limit you were given.
Do not add another paracetamol product, including many fever syrups and cold drinks.
If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless the next one is close. Do not double it.
Stop once the cold has settled. Do not keep a spare habit of this tablet.

FAQs
Q1. What is Hatric 3 Tablet used for?
Ans. It eases common cold symptoms. Fever, body ache, sneezing, a runny nose, and a blocked nose. It does not cure the virus. The course should be short.
Q2. Does Hatric 3 still have only three medicines?
Ans. No. New Hatric 3 has four. Paracetamol, diphenhydramine, phenylephrine, and caffeine. Read your strip. An older pack may not match this one.
Q3. Is Hatric 3 a prescription medicine?
Ans. Yes. It is a prescription medicine from Aristo. Do not pair it with another paracetamol or cold tablet. The paracetamol can add up past a safe day.
Q4. Why do I feel sleepy and also restless?
