Medicine Description coldact 25mg
Coldact 25mg Capsule is a medication that combines multiple active ingredients to provide symptomatic relief from common cold and allergy-related ailments. Caffeine acts as a mild stimulant that helps reduce fatigue and enhances the efficacy of pain relief provided by paracetamol, which works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain to reduce pain and fever. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that alleviates symptoms such as nasal congestion and sneezing by blocking histamine receptors, while pseudoephedrine serves as a decongestant, constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages to relieve swelling and congestion. Together, these components effectively target various symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections.
