About Codistar DX Cough Syrup
Codistar DX Cough Syrup is used to treat dry cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely. Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
Codistar DX Cough Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. On the other hand, Dextromethorphan belongs to the class of cough suppressants that work by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, Codistar DX Cough Syrup helps relieve overall cough, cold and allergic symptoms.
Take Codistar DX Cough Syrup with or without food, as advised by your doctor, using a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Codistar DX Cough Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry mouth, throat, or nose; drowsiness; blurred vision; constipation; dizziness; or restlessness or excitation. Most of the side effects of Codistar DX Cough Syrup do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Codistar DX Cough Syrup . Codistar DX Cough Syrup is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. If you are about to undergo any medical tests or surgery, please inform your doctor that you are taking Codistar DX Cough Syrup . Avoid using Codistar DX Cough Syrup if you have taken medicines such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine and methylene blue injection in the past 14 days. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Codistar DX Cough Syrup to loosen mucus. If you have glaucoma, urinary problems, an enlarged prostate, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of the amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), cough with mucus or cough caused by asthma, smoking, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath), inform your doctor before taking Codistar DX Cough Syrup .

It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling and congestion or stiffness.
