Pharmacological properties

A combined drug with antipyretic, vasoconstrictor, analgesic and anti-allergic effect.

Paracetamol has antipyretic and analgesic effect: reduces pain syndrome during colds – sore throat, headache, muscle and joint pain, reduces fever.

Pheniramine has antiallergic effect: it eliminates edema and hyperemia of mucous membranes of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and sinuses, reduces runny nose and lacrimation. Phenylephrine has a vasoconstrictor effect: it reduces nasopharyngeal mucosa edema.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) replenishes the increased need for vitamin C during “colds” and flu, especially in the initial stages of the disease, increases resistance to infectious diseases.
