COREX DX SYP
₹155.00
Corex DX Syrup is a combination medication used to provide temporary relief from dry cough and associated symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and throat irritation. It contains:
-
Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4 mg/5 ml) – an antihistamine that alleviates allergy symptoms.
-
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10 mg/5 ml) – a cough suppressant that acts on the brain’s cough center.
Description
Corex DX Syrup is formulated to address dry, non-productive coughs often associated with colds, allergies, or throat irritation. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking histamine receptors, reducing allergic reactions such as sneezing and runny nose. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the central nervous system. This combination provides symptomatic relief, allowing individuals to rest and recover more comfortably.
