Benefits

In Cough: Zyrcold Dc either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion: Zyrcold Dc thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms: Zyrcold Dc relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.
In Allergic rhinitis: Zyrcold Dc blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy: Zyrcold Dc calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Zyrcold Dc relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma: Zyrcold Dc reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

Most side effects of Zyrcold Dc are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Drowsiness
dizziness
dry mouth
nausea
vomiting

Oral syrup; take as prescribed by a doctor. Measure with a dosing cup/spoon; usually taken 2–3 times daily. Can be taken with or without food; take after food if stomach upset occurs. Do not exceed recommended dose and avoid use for more than a few days unless advised.

How it works

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