Not a good idea: It appears that this is a combination of cortisone and an antihistamine- neither of which has shown effectiveness for cold. The cortisone may even reduce your defense against the virus but likely very minimally. The older antihistamine does have a drying effect which may reduce the runny nose but also tends to make you sleepy. If you must, take only an antihistamine.

No steroid for cold: celestaramine has betamethasone and dexclorphenamine. Betamethasone is a steroid. You do not need steroid to treat common cold. It is an overkill. The other ingredient, dexclorphenamine is an anti histamine. It is OK.
