What is Zedex-Sf used for?

Symptomatic relief of dry or productive cough associated with common cold/upper respiratory tract infections; helps relieve chest congestion and nasal stuffiness.

How Zedex-Sf Works

Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough center in the brain. Guaifenesin loosens and thins mucus to make coughing out phlegm easier. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts nasal blood vessels to reduce swelling and congestion.
