Cofnyl DS Oral Suspension is composed of three medicines, namely Cetirizine (antihistamine), Phenylephrine‚ (decongestant), and Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic). Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nostrils and the passage and reduces stuffy noses. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain and fever.
