dextromethorphan CPM SOFT GEL CAPSULES

A dextromethorphan hydrobromide, chlorpheniramine maleate, and phenylephrine hydrochloride capsule is a combination medicine that treats cold, cough, and allergy symptoms by acting as a cough suppressant (dextromethorphan), antihistamine (chlorpheniramine), and decongestant (phenylephrine). It provides temporary relief for symptoms like dry cough, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Side effects can include drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. 

How the combination works

• Dextromethorphan hydrobromide: A cough suppressant that acts on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough.
• Chlorpheniramine maleate: An antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, which helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
• Phenylephrine hydrochloride: A decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages, which helps to decrease stuffiness and congestion. 

Uses

• Temporarily relieves multiple symptoms associated with colds, allergies, the flu, and hay fever.
• Reduces dry cough, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion.

Important considerations

• Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have other medical conditions or are taking other medications.
• Do not use this medicine for a cough that is chronic or caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.
• Stop using the medicine and call a doctor if your cough or stuffy nose returns or lasts more than seven days, or if you experience severe side effects like dizziness or nervousness.
• Seek emergency medical help for signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
