Caffeine is a mild CNS stimulant. It helps alleviate fatigue and drowsiness, and it enhances the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol (acetaminophen).
Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic reactions like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic that alleviates pain and reduces fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and discomfort.
Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation. This helps relieve nasal and sinus congestion.
Together, these components work synergistically to ease symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.
