Paracetamol (325 mg): This ingredient relieves pain and reduces fever by altering your body's pain perception and acting on the brain's heat-regulating center.
Phenylephrine (10 mg): This nasal decongestant is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing inflammation and swelling to ease breathing.
