The syrup containing Dextromethorphan HBr 10 mg + Phenylephrine HCl 5 mg + Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg per 5 ml dose is a prescription combination medicine used to provide relief from symptoms of the common cold, allergies, and dry cough. It is not effective against a chesty (wet) cough that produces mucus. 
Active Ingredients and How They Work
This triple-action formula targets multiple symptoms simultaneously: 
  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: A cough suppressant that acts on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough. This makes it useful for a dry, irritating cough.
  • Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: A nasal decongestant that works by shrinking swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, helping to reduce stuffiness and ease breathing.
  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate: An antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance the body releases during an allergic reaction. This provides relief from symptoms like a runny nose, watery eyes, itching, and sneezing. 
Key Uses
The syrup is primarily used for the temporary relief of: 
  • Dry cough
  • Nasal and sinus congestion
  • Runny nose, sneezing, and watery or itchy eyes
  • Symptoms associated with upper respiratory allergies, hay fever, and the common cold
