How It Works
Chlorpheniramine Maleate acts as an antihistamine, blocking allergic reactions and reducing symptoms like watery eyes and itching. Paracetamol provides pain relief and fever reduction by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant, constricting blood vessels in nasal passages to reduce congestion and swelling.
