Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent. It thins and loosens the mucus in your airways, thereby making it easier for you to cough out the phlegm.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, thereby promoting more productive coughs.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen has analgesic and antipyretic properties. It acts on your brain to reduce fever and relieve pain.
Phenylephrine is a decongestant. It narrows the blood vessels in your nasal passages, which helps to reduce inflammation and congestion.
