How Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Phenylephrine Hydrochloride works

  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a triple-action cold and allergy medication.

  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine, a substance your body makes during an allergic reaction, which relieves symptoms like runny nose and sneezing.
