Medicinal Benefits:

Dexol Syrup Sugar Free Strawberry contains Ambroxol, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine maleate and Menthol.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is an anti-tussive agent that blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, decreasing the need to cough. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, providing relief from congestion and decreasing mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an anti-histamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
