How do the ingredients of the drug work?

Ibuprofen: The active substance belongs to a group of substances that act both against pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.
Pseudoephedrine: Dilated blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are constricted, which results in reduced blood flow and thus a reduction in swelling of the mucous membranes.
