How Febrex Ccf Drop works
Febrex Ccf Drop contains four active medicines: Paracetamol, Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine, and Ambroxol. These work together and provide relief from the symptoms of common cold. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Ambroxol helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. A clear passage enables easy breathing in your child.
