Medicine Description noflu
Noflu Syrup is a medication that combines chlorpheniramine, a first-generation antihistamine, paracetamol, an analgesic and antipyretic, and pseudoephedrine, a sympathomimetic decongestant. Chlorpheniramine alleviates allergy symptoms by blocking histamine receptors, thus reducing sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Paracetamol functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, leading to decreased pain perception and reduced fever. Pseudoephedrine acts by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, which decreases swelling and congestion, making it easier to breathe. Together, these active ingredients provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections.
