FAQs

What age group is Boiron ColdCalm for?

Boiron ColdCalm is indicated for children aged 3 years and older. For children under 4 years of age, consult a doctor before use.

How many pellets should a child take?

For children 4 years of age and older, the recommended dose is 5 pellets at 15-minute intervals for the first hour, then 5 pellets every 6 hours as symptoms improve. Reduce frequency as symptoms lessen.

What are the active ingredients?

The active ingredients are homeopathic dilutions including Allium cepa 3C HPUS, Apis mellifica 6C HPUS, Belladonna 6C HPUS, Eupatorium perfoliatum 3C HPUS, Gelsemium sempervirens 6C HPUS, Kalibichromicum 6C HPUS, Nux vomica 3C HPUS, Phytolacca decandra 6C HPUS, and Pulsatilla 6C HPUS.

Does this product contain sugar?

Yes, Boiron ColdCalm contains 0.25g of sugar per serving (Lactose, Sucrose) as inactive ingredients.

When should I stop using ColdCalm and see a doctor?

You should consult a doctor if the sore throat is worse or accompanied by fever, headache, rash, nausea, or vomiting. Also, discontinue use and consult a doctor if the sore throat worsens or lasts more than 2 days, nasal congestion worsens or lasts more than 5 days (in children under 12), or if new symptoms appear.

Is ColdCalm FDA approved?

The product is based on traditional homeopathic medicine and has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety or effectiveness.

Can I use this with other medications?

Boiron ColdCalm has no known drug interactions. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before combining any medications.

Troubleshooting

Child refuses to take pellets

Ensure the pellets are fully dissolved under the tongue as directed. The taste is designed to be pleasant for children, but some may require encouragement. Consult the product instructions for alternative administration if absolutely necessary, though direct sublingual absorption is preferred.

Cold symptoms do not improve after a few days

Discontinue use and consult a doctor if sore throat worsens or lasts more than 2 days, nasal congestion worsens or lasts more than 5 days (in children under 12), or if new symptoms appear. This product provides temporary relief and is not a cure.

Accidental overdose

Seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately. While homeopathic remedies are generally considered safe due to high dilutions, immediate medical attention is advised in case of accidental overdose.
