About Phensedyl DX Syrup

Phensedyl DX Syrup is used to treat dry cough. Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways. 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.

Phensedyl DX Syrup is a combination of chlorpheniramine and dextromethorphan. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough.

Some people may experience dry mouth, throat, or nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, or restlessness or excitation. Most of the side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Phensedyl DX Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Phensedyl DX Syrup . Avoid using Phensedyl DX Syrup if you have taken medications such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, or Isocarboxazid in the past 14 days.
