• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: A decongestant that helps to clear a blocked nose, making it easier to breathe.
• Guaifenesin: An expectorant that works to loosen phlegm and mucus, helping to relieve chesty coughs.
• Cetylpyridinium Chloride: An antiseptic that helps to ease tickly sore throats, providing soothing relief.
