How it works
Synarcin Tablet is a combination of caffeine, Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol and Phenylephrine. Paracetamol helps in reducing the pain signals responsible for the cause of fever and pain. 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. Caffeine helps patients experiencing drowsiness and fatigue to stay alert and awake.
