Ascoril D Plus Sugar Free Syrup

Ascoril D Plus Sugar Free Syrup contains Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml) + Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml) + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml). Prescription required.

Symptomatic relief of dry/irritative cough associated with common cold or upper respiratory tract allergy; helps reduce cough, nasal congestion and runny nose/sneezing.

Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough centre in the brain. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that constricts swollen nasal blood vessels to relieve blockage. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose.
