Codral Original Cough Cold & Flu Day & Night Relief 24 Capsules

Overview
Codral Original Cold & Flu + Cough Day & Night provides temporary relief of cold and flu symptoms. The day capsules give temporary relief of headache, body aches and pains, blocked nose, fever and dry irritated coughs, without causing drowsiness. The night capsules give temporary relief of headache, body aches and pains, blocked nose, fever, dry irritated coughs and runny nose. Paracetamol works to stop the pain messages from getting through to the brain. It also acts in the brain to reduce fever. Pseudoephedrine belongs to a group of medicines called sympathomimetic decongestants. It works by reducing congestion in the upper respiratory tract, including the nose, nasal passages and sinuses, and making it easier to breathe. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that acts on the cough centre in the brain to suppress a dry cough. Chlorpheniramine belongs to a group of medicines called 'antihistamines'. Antihistamines help reduce allergic symptoms by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine. Histamine is produced by the body in response to foreign substances that the body is allergic to.
