The medicine contains three active ingredients:
Paracetamol is a painkiller and reduces your temperature when you have a fever.
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a decongestant which opens the airways, helping you breathe more easily.
Pholcodine is a cough suppressant that helps relieve dry or tickly coughs.
