Cetirizine is an antihistamine. It blocks the action of a chemical called histamine in your body, which reduces symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose that are associated with allergies or the common cold.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer) agent. It acts on certain areas of the brain to reduce pain and lower body temperature when you have a fever.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a decongestant. It shrinks the blood vessels in your nasal passages, which helps to relieve nasal congestion and make it easier for you to breathe. Together, these three components work synergistically to provide relief from multiple symptoms of colds, flu, and allergies.
