Wikoryl DS Suspension belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat the common cold, like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat in children. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus.' The virus attacks the body through the mouth, nose, or eyes and spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Wikoryl DS Suspension is a combination of four different medicines: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (a decongestant), Paracetamol (a mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Sodium Citrate (a mucolytic). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing a stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins', responsible for pain and fever. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent; it helps to loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.
