Pheniafrin is α1-adrenomimetic.It has vasoconstrictor properties;Due to the narrowing of the vessels, the hyperemia and swelling of the nasal mucosa decreases.Thanks to this, nasal breathing is noticeably improved.

Chlorfenamine is a blocker of specific histamine receptors.By reducing the permeability of the vascular walls, it reduces inflammatory exudation and swelling.

Caffeine is a psychostimulator that helps to overcome general weakness and drowsiness.It somewhat strengthens the effect of the remaining components.

Tricyclic antidepressants enhance the α-adrenomimetic effect of another ingredient - phenylephrine.
