Criticold Syrup 60ml contains two active ingredients:

Chlorpheniramine (2 mg): As an antihistamine, chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance released by your body during an allergic reaction. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, it helps reduce symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itching.
Phenylephrine (5 mg): This ingredient acts as a decongestant through its alpha-adrenergic agonist properties. It constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing inflammation and swelling. This action helps relieve nasal congestion and improves breathing.
