Lear Cold Tablet combines paracetamol, aceclofenac, paracetamol, phenylephrine, cetirizine, and caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) in the brain, which are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing the stuffy nose. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting the effect of chemical messengers like prostaglandins (responsible for producing pain and inflammation). This helps relieve allergic symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
