Mechanism of Action:

• Dextromethorphan: Acts on the cough center in the brain to suppress the cough reflex.
• Chlorpheniramine: Blocks histamine receptors, helping to reduce symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, and cough.
• Phenylephrine: Acts as a decongestant by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.

• For children, the dosage is determined by the healthcare provider based on the child’s age and weight.
• It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended amount.

Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness or dizziness (due to the antihistamine component)

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention if these occur.
