How Chlorpheniramine + Dextromethorphan + Phenylephrine works

  • Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itching.

  • Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It acts on the part of the brain that controls the urge to cough, thus helping to reduce coughing.

  • Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This reduces swelling and congestion, making it easier to breathe through the nose.

  • Together, these components provide relief from symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, and other upper respiratory tract conditions.
