How Does It Work?

• Phenylephrine is a decongestant medicine. It constricts the blood vessels in the congested areas like the sinus, nose and throat. Thus, it helps in relieving a stuffy nose and congested sinus.
• Bromhexine is a mucolytic medicine, which thins the mucous so it becomes easier to cough it out. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant medicine. It suppresses the coughing centre in the brain so decreases the frequency of coughing.
