Mechanism of Action:Chlorpheniramine, one of the active ingredient in CATANIL® SYRUP, is an antihistamine which works by diminishing or abolishing the actions of histamine in the body by competitive reversible blockage of histamine H1-receptor sites on tissues. Its actions include inhibition of histamine on smooth muscle, capillary permeability and hence reduction of oedema and wheal in hypersensitivity reactions such as allergy and anaphylaxis. It also has anticholinergic activity.
Paracetamol, the other active agent,is a para-aminophenol derivative that exhibits analgesic and anti-pyretic activity. Its mechanism of action is believed to include inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily within the central nervous system.
