Pharmacological properties

Paracetamol acts as anesthetic, febrifugal, and anti-inflammatory substance. Paracetamol’s mechanism of action is connected with its influence on hypothalamus’ heat-regulating center and its ability to inhibit synthesis of prostaglandin and mediators of inflammation (kinin and serotonine) and to increase pain threshold.

Levocetirizine dihydrochloride. By reduction of ICAM-1 adhesiveness it is carried an indirect antiviral effect, because cells resistance to rhinovirus increases. Levocetirizine reduces the severity of adhesion molecules, such as ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, which are markers of allergic inflammation. Also, during the application of levocetirizine Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae secondary adhesion level is reduced to nasopharyngeal epithelial cells infected with rhinoviruses. 

Levocetirizine dihydrochloride - is a non-sedating antihistamine, a stable active metabolite (R-enantiomer) of cetirizine, refers to histamine competitive antagonists group. Pharmacological action is due to H1-receptors blocking. Levoceterezine has the affinity for H1-receptors 2 times higher than cetirizine. It affects histamine dependent stage of allergic reactions, reduces migration of eosinophils, vascular permeability, restricts release of inflammatory mediators. It prevents allergic reactions development and suppresses it. It has antiexudative, an antipruritic, anti-inflammatory action, and has no anticholinergic and antiserotonin action, does not penetrate CNS.

Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a relatively selective alpha 1-adrenoagonists. Due to vasoconstrictor effect of phenylephrine, it reduces nasal mucosa edema, an amount of nasal secretion and improves nasal breathing, due to facilitation of air passage through the nose. To apply for nasal congestion temporary relief for cold, acute respiratory virus infection, hay fever and other allergic reactions.
