How It Works

• Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml): An antihistamine that blocks histamine (a natural chemical causing allergy symptoms), reducing sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.

• Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml): A nasal decongestant that narrows blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion, and easing breathing.
