DEXPCOF is a cough syrup brand; its action depends on the active ingredients present. Common antitussive/anti-allergic/decongestant ingredients work by suppressing the cough reflex and reducing allergy-related irritation in the airways.

Shake well before use. Measure with a dosing cup/spoon and take exactly as prescribed by the doctor. May be taken with or without food; take at the same time each day if multiple doses are advised. Do not exceed recommended dose.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
