About Decoril DX Sugar Free Syrup

Decoril DX Sugar Free Syrup belongs to the class of medications called 'cough and cold preparations,' primarily used to treat common cold and allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, a stuffy nose, dry cough, watery eyes, and throat irritation. A common cold occurs when your immune system reacts to a virus affecting the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements (allergens), such as pollen or pet dander.

Decoril DX Sugar Free Syrup contains Cetirizine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine works by blocking the action of a natural substance (histamine) responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Phenylephrine works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, which helps ease discomfort and make breathing easier. Together, Decoril DX Sugar Free Syrup helps relieve symptoms associated with common colds and allergies.

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration of Decoril DX Sugar Free Syrup based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, nervousness, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, and restlessness.
