Paracetamol is an antipyretic analgesic. It has analgesic, antipyretic and mild anti-inflammatory effects. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, a predominant effect on the center of thermoregulation in the hypothalamus.
Phenylephrine is an alpha1-adrenergic agonist that causes vasoconstriction, eliminates swelling and hyperemia of the nasal mucosa.
