How does Cheston Cold work?

Each component of the Cheston cold has different actions and improves the patient’s condition by performing the following activities:

Cetirizine

It blocks a natural substance produced during an allergic process in the body called histamine.

Paracetamol

It is an analgesic and fever reducer. Basically, it raises the threshold level of pain and acts on that region of the brain which regulates the body temperature. This causes an increase in the blood flow throughout the skin, along with heat loss and sweating. Paracetamol is useful in the management of low to medium intensity pains and aches like a toothache, headache, menstrual pains, joint pains, flu, and cold.

Phenylephrine

It mainly helps in relieving the congestion in the nose by reducing the blood flow in the nose blood vessels. It causes the constriction of the blood vessels by stimulating the receptors on them.
