How Does It Work?

• Maxtra P works by the combined action of its three components - Paracetamol, Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine.
• Paracetamol inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins which is responsible for pain and inflammation and also acts on heat-regulating centres and reduces body heat to control fever.
• Chlorpheniramine acts by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction.
• Phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor, it shrinks or constricts the blood vessels in the nasal passage and improves congestion.
