How it works

• Paracetamol: Stops prostaglandins in the brain from causing fever and pain.
• Phenylephrine: Narrows blood vessels in the nose, which helps clear up stuffy noses and sinus pressure.
• Chlorpheniramine stops histamine (H1 receptors), which helps with allergy symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.
• Together, they completely relieve the symptoms of colds, allergies, and stuffy noses.

• MAO inhibitors (high risk of severe high blood pressure)
• Other antihistamines (extra sedation)
• Other medications containing paracetamol (risk of liver toxicity)
• Stimulant medicines or decongestants (raise blood pressure)
