What is Pycuff Cold Syrup?

Chlorpheniramine acts as an antihistamine, relieving allergy-related symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that contribute to pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant, narrowing small blood vessels to relieve congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
