CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE belongs to a class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat dry cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from 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 vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Levodropropizine (cough suppressant) and Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine). Levodropropizine belongs to the class of cough suppressants that works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Chlorpheniramine maleate belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE provides relief from dry cough.
CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE can be taken with/without food or as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE based on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE. CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE may cause dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision or impaired thinking in some people. Therefore, drive only if you are alert after taking CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+LEVODROPROPIZINE.

Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
