Paralief Cold & Flu (Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, Paracetamol, Caffeine)

Paralief Cold & Flu combines three active ingredients that work together to relieve a range of upper‑respiratory symptoms associated with colds and influenza:

• Nasal congestion: Reduces swelling of nasal passages to improve airflow.
• Headache and fever: Alleviates pain and lowers temperature.
• General malaise: Improves overall comfort during a cold or flu episode.
• Fatigue related to flu: Provides a mild stimulant effect to reduce drowsiness.
• Sinus pressure: Helps relieve sinus discomfort.

• Paralief Cold & Flu provides a multi‑component action: phenyl‑erephrine stimulates α‑adrenergic receptors in nasal mucosa causing vasoconstriction and reduced swelling; paracetamol inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, lowering prostaglandin synthesis to reduce pain and fever; caffeine acts centrally to counteract sedation and modestly enhances analgesic effect through adenosine‑receptor antagonism.
