How it works:
There are three main active elements in TUSSTHIK DX15 Syrup that work together to help with cough:
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (15 mg/5 ml): This is an antitussive that works on the cough center in the brain to make you want to cough less.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a nasal decongestant that makes enlarged blood vessels in the nose smaller, which helps with congestion and stuffiness.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that helps with allergy symptoms such a runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.
These substances work together to relieve cough, cold, and throat irritation in more than one way.
