Answer

The only two things I'd change are these:

adapted from or based on, not both

The movie is adapted from the novel
The movie is based on the novel (slightly better)
Also:
The movie is an adaptation based on the novel.

You don't need to take medication  if you catch a cold.

Everything else is perfect :o)

Answer

The only correction I'd make is "if you catch a cold" instead of "if you catch cold". Only people in older generations would say it like that, so a more modern way would be "a cold."
