How Alex Syrup Works:
Alex Syrup is a combination of three active ingredients:
- Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml): A decongestant that narrows small blood vessels, reducing nasal congestion and stuffiness.
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml): An antihistamine that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml): A cough suppressant that reduces the activity of the cough center in the brain, helping to suppress dry coughs.
