How MAXTRA SYRUP Works

MAXTRA
SYRUP relieves cold symptoms where Phenylephrine decreases nasal
congestion by acting on α1-adrenergic receptors in the small vessels of
the nasal mucosa to produce constriction, resulting in decreased
swelling and increased drainage of the sinus cavities and
Chlorpheniramine binds to the histamine H1 receptor and blocks its
action, resulting in temporary relief of the negative symptoms (runny
nose, sneezing, watery and itchy eyes) brought on by histamine.
