How Nicip Cold Products work
Phenylephrine + Nimesulide + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Caffeine is a combination of four medicines: Phenylephrine + Nimesulide + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Caffeine1, Phenylephrine + Nimesulide + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Caffeine2, Phenylephrine + Nimesulide + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Caffeine3 and Phenylephrine + Nimesulide + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Caffeine4. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing temporary relief from stuffiness in the nose. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Caffeine is stimulant which prevents sleepiness caused by chlorpheniramine.
