How Fluvant Products work
Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine is combination of four medicines: Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine1, Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine2, Paracetamol and Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine4. Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine2 is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine1 is a stimulant which increases the effectiveness of Paracetamol and decreases sleepiness due to Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine2. Caffeine + Cetirizine + Paracetamol + Phenylephrine4 is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing temporary relief from stuffiness in the nose.
