Paradol C

- Paracetamol is a para-aminophenol derivative, it is a non-opioid,
  nonsalicylate. It has an analgesic, antipyretic properties and weak
  anti-inflammatory activity. 
- Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a decongestant which unblocks your
  nose and sinuses helping you breathe more easily.

  and flu (fever, aches and pains) and increase the body’s level of vitamin
  C to replace the vitamin that is lost when you have a cold or flu.
