Cough Dm Soft Gelatin Capsule 10 is a combination medicine that works in the following ways:

• Dextromethorphan (10 mg): This ingredient acts as a cough suppressant. It targets the cough centre in your brain called the medulla. By doing so, it decreases your urge to cough.
• Phenylephrine (5 mg): This is a decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces inflammation and swelling, which helps decrease nasal congestion and improves breathing.
• Chlorpheniramine (2 mg): An antihistamine component that blocks the effects of histamine, a substance in your body that causes allergic symptoms. By competing for receptor sites in different parts of your body, like the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract, it reduces symptoms like sneezing, itching, and a runny nose.
