HOW SOLVIN COLD TABLET WORKS
Solvin Cold Tablet contains a combination of active ingredients such as Paracetamol (acetaminophen), Phenylephrine, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the brain called prostaglandins, which are involved in the transmission of pain signals and fever response. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Paracetamol helps alleviate pain and reduce fever associated with colds.
Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces swelling and congestion in the nasal tissues, making it easier to breathe through the nose and relieving symptoms such as nasal congestion and sinus pressure.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance produced by the body in response to allergens or irritation. By inhibiting histamine’s effects, Chlorpheniramine Maleate helps reduce symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose associated with colds and allergies.
Overall, Solvin Cold Tablet works by targeting multiple symptoms of the common cold, including pain, fever, nasal congestion, and allergic reactions, providing relief and improving overall comfort.
