This compound consists of acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorpheniramine maleate. Paracetamol is an antipyretic and analgesic, and its mechanism of action is mainly to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is an adrenaline-like drug that can constrict nasal mucosa and reduce symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is an antitussive. The drug works by inhibiting the medullary cough center; chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that can eliminate or reduce the symptoms of colds such as tearing, sneezing and runny nose.
Oral absorption of paracetamol is fast and complete, and it produces antipyretic and analgesic effects within 30 minutes after taking it. The highest efficacy is achieved within 2-3 hours. The antipyretic effect can be maintained for 4 hours. It is metabolized in the liver and has a half-life of 2-4 hours. Glucuronic acid conjugates, 30% are excreted from the urine as sulfate conjugates, and less than 4% of the drug is excreted in the original form. Chlorpheniramine maleate, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride all have good absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, and most of them are excreted from the urine after being metabolized by the liver.
