Composition

Each 5 ml of syrup contains:

• Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 20 mg

• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 10 mg

• Triprolidine Hydrochloride 2.5 mg

• Flavored syrup base and approved excipients

Mechanism of Action

Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting antitussive that suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough center in the brain, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of dry, non-productive cough. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and relieving nasal congestion. Triprolidine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors, helping to relieve symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.
