The syrup containing Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10 mg + Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg is used for the temporary relief of dry cough, sneezing, and runny nose caused by the common cold, hay fever, or other respiratory allergies. 
Uses and Action
This combination medication works through two active ingredients: 
  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: A cough suppressant that acts on the brain’s cough center to reduce the urge to cough.
  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate: An antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for allergy symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. 
It is primarily indicated for dry, irritating coughs and associated allergy/cold symptoms. It does not treat the underlying cause of the cough or speed up recovery, but provides symptomatic relief.

Common side effects of this syrup may include: 
  • Drowsiness or sedation

Important Precautions
  • Consult a doctor: It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, glaucoma, or an enlarged prostate.
  • Avoid alcohol: Do not consume alcohol while taking this syrup, as it can intensify drowsiness and dizziness.
  • Medication interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (taken within the past 14 days), as interactions can be serious.
