Mode of Action of ZEDEX P DELICIOUS MIX FRUIT FLAVOUR BOTTLE OF 60ML SYRUP
How Does It Work?
- Zedex P syrup contains a combination of paracetamol, chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, sodium citrate, and menthol as active substances.
- Paracetamol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that blocks the action of a chemical called cyclooxygenase. Cyclooxygenase is responsible for the formation of certain substances in the body called prostaglandins that cause fever, pain, and inflammation....
- Chlorpheniramine is an anti-allergic medicine that blocks certain proteins in the body that are responsible for causing itching, headache, redness of the skin, low blood pressure, and pain.
- Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant. It works by reducing the swelling of blood vessels of nasal passage by constricting the blood vessels and thereby relieving nasal congestion or blockage.
- Sodium citrate liquifies the mucous and helps in its expulsion thereby clearing congestion.
- Menthol helps to suppress cough sensitivity and is used to prevent or relieve a cough.
