This medicine is sugar-based and needs caution for use in diabetic patients. If you have diabetes, check with your doctor before you start taking this medicine.

Most side effects are usually harmless and temporary, and resolve upon discontinuing the use of Alkof DX Syrup. However, if you feel any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are a couple of suggestions for managing common side effects:
Nausea: Try taking Alkof DX Syrup with food to lessen this effect.
Dry mouth: Drinking plenty of water might help alleviate the dryness in your mouth.
Alkof DX Syrup contains two active components:
Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4 mg): This antihistamine works by blocking a substance in the body called histamine which is produced during an allergic reaction. By doing so, it helps relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and itching.
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10 mg): This component acts as a cough suppressant. It affects signals in the brain that trigger the cough reflex, hence reducing the urge to cough.
This combined action of both components makes this syrup effective in managing symptoms of the common cold and allergies.
Pregnant women should be cautious while taking Alkof DX Syrup. It is best to check with your doctor before starting to take this medicine.
