Overview: ZEDEX SYRUP

ZEDEX SYRUP is a therapeutic combination medicine formulated to treat symptoms of dry cough. By working on specific centers in the brain, it provides relief from persistent dry coughs and also alleviates common allergic symptoms.

Active Ingredients

• Dextromethorphan: A cough suppressant that acts on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough.
• Chlorpheniramine: An antihistamine that helps to relieve allergic symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and throat irritation.

Health Benefits

• Dry Cough Relief: Efficiently provides relief from dry coughs by suppressing the cough reflex.
• Allergy Symptom Reduction: Counteracts the effects of histamine (a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms) leading to relief from symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation.

Precautions and Side Effects

• Drowsiness: Both Chlorpheniramine and Dextromethorphan can cause drowsiness. It's recommended to avoid activities that require mental alertness, such as driving, when taking this medicine.
• Gastrointestinal discomfort: Some users might experience stomach upset.
• Drug Interactions: ZEDEX SYRUP may interact with other medications, especially alcohol, sedatives, and MAO inhibitors. Always consult with a healthcare provider before combining with other medications.
