How CHESTON COLD TABLET Works

CHESTON COLD TABLET is a combination of Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and
Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an H1 receptor antagonist that works by blocking
the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny noses,
watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that acts
by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins (chemicals that cause
inflammation, pain, and fever), which helps in reducing pain and fever.
Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that acts by narrowing the small blood
vessels, providing temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
