pel the irritants such as dust, mucous, allergens, bacteria, etc., to clear the airway and prevent infection. Leerex Syrup consists of two main components: chlorpheniramine and codeine.

Causing decreased sweating and increasing the chances of a heat stroke is one of the side effects of Leerax syrup. This medicine is not recommended for children. Do not take this medicine with others that cause sleepiness. It is a habit-forming medicine. It can also cause dependency. Suddenly stopping this syrup can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, high heart rate, irritation, etc.
