BENADRYL DR 50ML SYP

Description

Benadryl DR Syrup 50ml is primarily used to treat dry cough associated with conditions like the common cold, throat irritation, or allergic reactions. The active ingredient, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, acts centrally to elevate the threshold for coughing, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of coughs. This formulation is non-narcotic and does not contain codeine, making it a safer option for symptomatic relief from dry cough.
