COLDRYTH PLUS TAB

Description

Composition:

• Caffeine (30 mg): A stimulant that increases the effect of paracetamol and decreases drowsiness caused by diphenhydramine.

• Diphenhydramine (25 mg): An antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.

• Paracetamol (325 mg): An analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins.
