• Nimesulide and paracetamol acts by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins (a chemical which is responsible for causing pain, swelling and inflammation). Thus, helps to relieve fever and mild painful conditions like body ache.
• Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts the blood vessels in the nose and sinuses and thus improves symptoms like stuffy nose and improves breathing.
• Some chemicals substances when released in the body, produce allergic symptoms like runny nose, stuffy nose, coughing, sneezing, red and watery eyes. Cetirizine is an antihistamine which blocks the effects of allergic chemicals and provides relief from the symptoms.
• Caffeine is a stimulant which decreases the drowsiness of this medicine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol.
