About Chlorpheniramine Maleate
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic reactions. Chlorpheniramine Maleate's clinical relevance lies in its ability to alleviate discomfort from allergies. In summary, Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an effective treatment for allergic conditions.
How It Works
Chlorpheniramine Maleate antagonizes H1 receptors, preventing the action of histamine and reducing allergy symptoms.
All Active Ingredients
Paracetamol
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for pain and fever.
Phenylephrine
Phenylephrine activates alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow to nasal mucosa, thereby decreasing swelling and congestion.
