Medicine Description nova-c-n 5mg
Nova-C-n 5mg Tablets is a medication that combines four active ingredients: caffeine, chlorpheniramine maleate, paracetamol, and phenylephrine, each contributing to its therapeutic effect. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and reducing fatigue, which is beneficial in countering the sedative effects of chlorpheniramine. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that alleviates allergy symptoms by blocking histamine receptors, thereby reducing symptoms like sneezing and itching. Paracetamol serves as an analgesic and antipyretic, providing relief from pain and lowering fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. Lastly, phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to reduced swelling and congestion.
