Uses of Cetirizine + Paracetamol/acetaminophen + Phenylpropanolamine

How Cetirizine + Paracetamol/acetaminophen + Phenylpropanolamine works

  • Cetirizine + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen + Phenylpropanolamine is a therapeutic combination of an antihistamine, an analgesic and antipyretic, and a decongestant.

  • Cetirizine is an antihistamine. It works by selectively binding to H1 receptors, inhibiting the effects of histamine, a chemical substance that triggers allergic reactions such as itching, swelling, and rashes.

  • Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic. It functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause pain and fever. By blocking their production, Paracetamol/Acetaminophen effectively reduces pain and lowers fever.

  • Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It acts on the alpha-adrenergic receptors to constrict blood vessels, especially in the nasal passages. This reduction in the blood vessels size lessens swelling and congestion, making breathing easier.

  • Together, these three components work synergistically to help manage symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, and other upper respiratory tract conditions.
