How it works
Paracetamol increases the pain threshold and decreases swelling. It also brings down elevated body temperature by acting on heat regulatory centers in the brain. Phenylephrine acts by reducing the swelling of the blood vessels in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of certain substances produced by the body which induce allergic reactions. Ambroxol promotes mucus clearance and eases a productive cough. Thus, this combination is better effective for treating the symptoms of cough and common cold associated with fever.
