How Onacold Tablet works

Onacold Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Caffeine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain and fever. Caffeine increases the effectiveness of Chlorpheniramine Maleate and makes you more alert. Paracetamol is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Phenylephrine is an antiallergic which blocks the action of a chemical messenger, histamine to relieve allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.
