How Nam Cold Tablet 10's Works

Nam Cold Tablet 10's works through the combined action of its three active ingredients, each targeting a different aspect of your symptoms: • The pain and inflammation reliever- Nimesulide works mainly by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. This action occurs primarily at inflamed tissues, helping relieve pain, swelling, and fever. • The nasal decongestant: Pseudoephedrine acts directly on the blood vessels in your nasal passages, narrowing them to reduce swelling and congestion, which helps open up your airways. • The antihistamine: Cetirizine blocks histamine, a natural substance your body releases during an allergic reaction, effectively stopping sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
