Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide IP 10 mg/5 ml, Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride IP 12.5 mg/5 ml, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride IP 5 mg/5 ml

Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough centre in the brain. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms and also helps reduce cough due to post-nasal drip. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts nasal blood vessels to relieve blocked nose.
