Phensedyl DX Syrup

Description

Product Introduction:

Phensedyl DX Syrup is a combination medication used to provide relief from dry cough and associated symptoms like throat irritation, sneezing, and runny nose. It is effective in managing non-productive (dry) coughs, where no phlegm or mucus is produced. This syrup works by acting on the brain’s cough center and by blocking the effects of histamine, which helps alleviate symptoms of allergies such as sneezing and watery eyes.

Phensedyl DX Syrup is typically used for short-term relief. It should be taken as directed by your doctor, and you should not discontinue treatment prematurely, as doing so might cause symptoms to return.

Salt Composition:

• Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml)
• Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml)

Uses of Phensedyl DX Syrup:

1. Treatment of Dry Cough:
   • Phensedyl DX Syrup is primarily used for treating dry coughs caused by irritation or allergies.
   • It works by suppressing the cough reflex in the brain and reducing irritation in the throat.
2. Relief of Allergy Symptoms:
   • Helps manage symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and throat irritation that are often linked with allergies.
   • Alleviates discomfort caused by exposure to allergens or environmental irritants.

Benefits of Phensedyl DX Syrup:

• Effective for Dry Coughs:
  • Dry coughs, which can be caused by infections (like a cold or flu) or environmental irritants, can be irritating and persistent. Phensedyl DX Syrup provides quick relief by suppressing the cough center in the brain, reducing the urge to cough.
  • It also helps manage symptoms of allergy-related cough, making it easier to carry out daily activities.
• Immediate Relief:
  • Phensedyl DX Syrup starts working quickly, usually providing relief within a few minutes, with effects that can last for several hours.
  • Regular use as prescribed can ensure more effective control of symptoms.
• Dual Action:
  • The combination of Chlorpheniramine Maleate (an antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (a cough suppressant) addresses both the allergic and cough-related components of the condition.

Side Effects of Phensedyl DX Syrup:

Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, if any of the following persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

• Common Side Effects:
  • Sleepiness or sedation
  • Dizziness (especially when standing up quickly)

These effects typically wear off as your body adjusts to the medication.

• Serious Side Effects:
  • While rare, if you experience unusual symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling), you should seek medical attention immediately.

How Phensedyl DX Syrup Works:

Phensedyl DX Syrup contains two active ingredients:

1. Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml):
   • Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose. This helps reduce the allergic reaction that may trigger a cough.
2. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml):
   • Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that works by reducing the activity in the brain’s cough center, thus alleviating the urge to cough.
   • It helps in controlling dry, non-productive coughs and reduces throat irritation.
