Medicine Description one-two-three-123 1mg
One Two Three 123 is a medication that combines chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and pseudoephedrine to alleviate symptoms associated with colds and allergies. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Paracetamol functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which helps reduce fever and alleviate pain. Pseudoephedrine acts as a decongestant by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to reduced swelling and congestion. Together, these components synergistically target multiple symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections.
