About PARACETAMOL+BROMHEXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN
PARACETAMOL+BROMHEXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN belongs to the class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat symptoms of common cold and allergies such as sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as ‘rhinoviruses’. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.
PARACETAMOL+BROMHEXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+PHENYLEPHRINE HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN contains Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant), Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic) and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine hydrochloride works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily. Paracetamol inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by the virus, mainly known as ‘rhinoviruses’, affecting the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than 6 years are at the most significant risk of colds, but healthy adults can also be affected to have 2-3 colds annually. In most cases, cold symptoms are recovered within a week or ten days. However, symptoms might last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens like pollutants, dust, etc. The symptoms of the common cold include sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pains, low fever, mild headache, feeling unwell, and stuffy or runny nose. In some cases, the discharge from the nose may become thicker and yellow or green, which is an indication of bacterial infection.
Allergies: These occur when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade the body, thereby causing the release of histamines. This chemical messenger 'histamines' causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose and throat, and watery eyes. Allergies generally occur due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, dust, pollen hairs, seasonal allergies like hay fever etc.
