Dexos AD Syrup Substitute

Dexos AD Syrup belongs to a class of cough and cold preparations primarily used to treat cough. Additionally, it is also used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, throat irritation, or watery eyes.

Dexos AD Syrup contains Ambroxol, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine maleate and Menthol. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide 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 works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, providing relief from congestion and decreasing mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Menthol is a cooling agent that produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation.

You are not recommended to take Dexos AD Syrup with selegiline or other MAO inhibitors such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine and methylene blue injection at the same time as it may cause severe high blood pressure, which may lead to stroke. Therefore, if you have taken any of these medicines in the past 14 days, avoid taking Dexos AD Syrup and consult a doctor for proper advice.

You are recommended to avoid taking Dexos AD Syrup if you have asthma, enlarged prostate, blockage in stomach or intestines, glaucoma or if you are unable to urinate. Please consult a doctor if you have any of these conditions before taking Dexos AD Syrup.
