Medicinal Benefits:

Sinex Plus Tablet is primarily used to treat the common cold, allergies (allergic rhinitis), and related symptoms such as runny or blocked nose, sneezing, congestion, pain, fever, and cough by suppressing the cough reflex. It is composed of four medicines, namely, Cetirizine (antihistamine/antiallergic), Dextromethorphan (anti-tussive), Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Cetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (antiallergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Dextromethorphan helps suppress cough by reducing activity in the brain’s cough centre, providing relief. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing a stuffy nose. Together, they can effectively treat symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, and respiratory infections, including runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, nasal congestion, cough, fever, and body aches.
