🔬 Composition (Per Film-Coated Tablet):
| Active Ingredient | Strength | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Paracetamol IP | 325 mg | Analgesic & antipyretic – reduces pain and fever |
| Phenylephrine Hydrochloride IP | 5 mg | Nasal decongestant – relieves nasal blockage |

| Excipients | q.s. | Inactive ingredients for tablet formulation |
⚙️ Mechanism of Action:
-
Paracetamol reduces fever and relieves headache/body pain by blocking prostaglandins in the CNS.
-
Phenylephrine is a selective alpha-1 agonist that causes vasoconstriction in nasal mucosa, reducing congestion.
-
Diphenhydramine blocks H1 histamine receptors and also has sedative effects – useful for nighttime cold relief.
-
Caffeine enhances the pain-relief effect of paracetamol and offsets drowsiness caused by diphenhydramine.
