How does this medication work?
This tablet is the combination of three medicine which includes Chlorpheniramine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. It is used for the treatment of common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine binds to the histamine H1 receptor, which prevents the action from endogenous histamine. Paracetamol is a pain relief medication that selectively inhibits enzyme function in the brain which allows it to treat pain and fever. It activates certain receptors in the brain that inhibit pain signals. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the swelling of blood vessels in the ear and nose, thereby providing great relief from discomfort.
