Alkof Mint Cough Syrup 100 ml belongs to the class of medications called 'cough and cold preparations,' primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergy, such as sneezing, a stuffy nose, dry cough, watery eyes, and throat irritation. It contains a combination of three medicines: Cetirizine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an antihistamine/antiallergic medication that helps relieve cold or allergy symptoms by blocking the action of a natural substance (histamine) responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that blocks the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that helps ease a stuffy nose by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby making breathing easier. Together, Alkof Mint Cough Syrup 100 ml effectively relieves symptoms associated with common colds or allergies.
