Uses and Benefits
This syrup provides multi-symptom relief by combining an antihistamine, a cough suppressant, and a decongestant.
- Relieves allergy symptoms: Cetirizine works by blocking histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions, which helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
- Suppresses cough: Dextromethorphan acts on the brain’s cough center to decrease the urge to cough, providing relief from dry, non-productive coughs.
- Clears nasal congestion: Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages, easing a stuffy nose and making breathing easier.
