Alkof-DX Syrup is a prescription combination medicine used to treat dry cough and associated allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation. It is manufactured by Alkem Laboratories Ltd.. 
Active Ingredients and Mechanism
The syrup contains two active ingredients per 5ml that work together: 
  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg): A cough suppressant that works by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain, thereby decreasing the urge to cough.
  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4mg): An antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. 
Uses and Benefits
  • Dry Cough Relief: Primarily treats dry, hacking coughs where no phlegm or mucus is produced.
  • Allergy Symptom Management: Relieves allergy-related symptoms, including sneezing, runny nose, and throat irritation.
  • Sustained Comfort: The effects typically start within 30 minutes to an hour and can last for several hours. 
Key Information and Safety
  • Administration: Shake the bottle well before each use and measure the dose accurately with a measuring cup or dosing syringe. It can be taken with or without food.
  • Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol, as it can cause excessive drowsiness and increase the risk of other side effects.
  • Driving: The medicine may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you are aware of how it affects you.
  • Complete the Course: Do not stop using the syrup without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen the condition or cause symptoms to return.
