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.
