Medicine Description trimed-flu 5mg
trimed flu 5 mg Tablets is a medication that combines loratadine, paracetamol, and pseudoephedrine to effectively target cold and allergy symptoms. Loratadine acts as an antihistamine, blocking histamine receptors to alleviate symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes. Paracetamol serves as an analgesic and antipyretic, helping to reduce pain and fever. Pseudoephedrine functions as a decongestant by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to reduced swelling and congestion. This multi-faceted approach allows trimed flu to address a range of symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections and allergic reactions simultaneously.
