Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Natural substances like histamine released in our body are responsible for allergies, such as sneezing or a runny nose. Chlorpheniramine blocks the effect of these substances and provides relief in symptoms of the common cold.
- There are specific areas in the brain (cough centre), which, when activated, produces coughing. Dextromethorphan affects these areas and deactivates them, thus helps in relieving the coughing.
