How it works

Paracetamol reduces fever and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa to reduce blockage. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces sneezing and runny nose, while sodium citrate acts as an expectorant/alkaliniser to help relieve throat irritation and cough associated with colds.
