How P-Cute Syrup works

Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) antipyretic (fever reducer). It relieves fever and headache associated with common cold. Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels to provide relief from stuffiness in the nose.

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of cough centre in the brain.
