How Zedex Plus Sugar Free Syrup 100ml Works?

Zedex Plus Cough Syrup consists of following components:

Chlorpheniramine maleate (2 mg): It is an antihistamine which stops the effects of histamine inside the body. It works by stopping the movement of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other substances and prevents the movement of pain and inflammatory mediators. It narrows the capillary permeability, promotes smooth muscle relaxation, hence, there is reduced allergy reactions.
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10 mg): It is an antitussive (cough suppressant) which works centrally inside the brain in specific regions like medulla and nucleus tractus solaris and increases the threshold or heightens the pain perception.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (5 mg): It is a nasal decongestant which works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and congestion. This helps relieve stuffy or blocked noses associated with colds and allergies.
