How Opcokold Products work
Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine + Sodium Citrate + Menthol1 is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine + Sodium Citrate + Menthol2 is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine + Sodium Citrate + Menthol3 is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine + Sodium Citrate + Menthol4 is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine + Sodium Citrate + Menthol5 is an organic compound which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves minor throat irritation.
