About Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule

Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold preparations', primarily used to treat a dry cough. Coughing (whether 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) produces mucus or sputum.

Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule contains Chlorpheniramine maleate, Phenylephrine and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce a cough. Together, Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule helps provide relief from a dry cough.

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration of Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry mouth, throat, or nose, as well as drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, restlessness, or excitation. Most of these side effects of Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. If you are about to undergo medical tests or surgery, please inform your doctor that you are taking Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule . Xl-90 Plus Softgel Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive or operate machinery only if you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may cause increased dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.
