How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

Ibuprofen: The active ingredient belongs to a group of substances that are effective against both pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions started or the body temperature raised.
Pseudoephedrine: Dilated blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are constricted, which results in reduced blood flow and thus causes the mucous membranes to decongest.

Use

For symptomatic treatment in the following cases:- Mucosal swelling of the nose associated with headache, fever and cold-related pain (blocked nose)- Sinusitis associated with headache, fever and cold-related painIf only one of the symptoms described is present, it is better to take a medicine containing only one active ingredient.
