This combination helps to alleviate symptoms associated with cold-like conditions such as runny nose, watery eyes, fever, and headache. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic agent that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows small blood vessels to relieve congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
