How Nosyfed-Plus Tablet works

Nosyfed-Plus Tablet is a combination of five medicines: Ambroxol, guaifenesin, phenylephrine, paracetamol and cetirizine which relieve cold symptoms. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Cetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.
