IFCOF DX TAB: DEXTROMETHORPHAN HBR 15 MG + PHENYLEPHRINE 10 MG + + CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE 2 MG TABLETS belong to the group of drugs known as "cough and cold preparations," which are mostly used to treat dry cough. Whether it is productive or dry, coughing helps the body clear irritants from the airways and prevent infection. The two types of cough are dry cough and chesty cough. A chesty cough (wet cough) means mucus or sputum is generated to help clear the airways, whereas a dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any nasty or thick mucus.
How Does It Work?
IFCOF DX TAB: DEXTROMETHORPHAN HBR 15 MG + PHENYLEPHRINE 10 MG + CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE 2 MG TABLET is a mixture of three medications, notably Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate (antihistamine) (cough suppressant). Histamine, a chemical that causes allergic reactions, is inhibited by Chlorpheniramine Maleate to work. The blood vessels in the nasal tube shrink due to Phenylephrine hydrochloride's assistance, which lessens stuffy nose symptoms. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide functions by preventing the nerve signals from the brain's cough center from reaching the muscles that cause coughing. Together, they assist in easing the symptoms of a dry cough.
