The components include ibuprofen and pseudo ephedrine HCL. Ibuprofen is a (NSAID) non steroidal anti inflammatory drug which inhibits certain chemicals known as prostaglandins which are mediators of pain, fever and inflammation. Whereas pseudo ephedrine HCL acts on the mucosa of the respiratory tract and relieves nasal congestion it also helps in the drainage of the sinus.
