Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Xl 80 tablets contain codeine and chlorpheniramine. Codeine is an opioid( derived from the poppy plant) analgesic (painkiller). It primarily acts by attaching itself to the mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system and reduces the excitability of the nerve cells. Thus preventing data transmission in the nociceptors (pain pathway cells), causing increased pain tolerance. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine. It acts by blocking the activity of histamines in the body which are responsible for causing allergies.
