Medicine Description cold-free 60mg
Cold Free 60 mg 20 Tablets is a medication that combines three active ingredients: chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and pseudoephedrine. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms, thus alleviating sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, helping to relieve pain and reduce fever by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain. Pseudoephedrine serves as a decongestant, narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages to decrease swelling and congestion, facilitating easier breathing. Together, these components target various symptoms of colds and flu, providing comprehensive relief during respiratory infections.
