RINOSTAT PLUS TABLET contains paracetamol, diphenhydramine, phenylephrine, and caffeine as key ingredients. Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) in the brain, which are responsible for pain and fever. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing the stuffy nose. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases the effect of paracetamol. This helps relieve allergic symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
