Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Certain chemicals (prostaglandins) released in the body are responsible for fever and pain. Paracetamol blocks the effect of these chemicals and helps relieve fever and mild, painful conditions, such as body aches.
• Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking histamine (H1) receptors, thereby reducing allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching.
• Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts the blood vessels in the nose and sinuses, thereby improving symptoms such as a stuffy nose and enhancing breathing.
• Sodium citrate works by alkalinizing bodily fluids and helping to loosen thick mucus, thereby easing throat irritation and improving mucus clearance.
• Menthol works by stimulating cold receptors in the respiratory tract, providing a cooling, soothing effect and relieving nasal and throat irritation.
