How Does It Work?

• Natural substances like Histamine released in our body are responsible for allergies such as sneezing or runny nose. Chlorpheniramine blocks the effect of these substances and provides relief in symptoms of a common cold.
• There are specific areas in the brain (cough centre) that, when activated, produce coughing. Dextromethorphan affects these areas and deactivates them, thus helping in relieving the coughing.

Interactions with other medicines

• Rexcof Dx syrup should not be taken with the medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) because it produces a condition called serotonin syndrome which is a life-threatening condition that can occur rapidly due to the build-up of an excessive amount of serotonin in the body. In the case of serotonin syndrome, a person may experience high body temperature, high blood pressure, fast heart rate, excitability, tremor (shakiness) and sweating. In such a situation, the patient should be rushed to a nearby hospital.
• Rexcof Dx NF syrup should be used cautiously with other medicines like Codeine, Hydrocodone (used for cough) that cause drowsiness. Alcohol, Marijuana, medicines to treat mental illness (Alprazolam, Lorazepam, Zolpidem, etc), muscle-relaxing medicines (Carisoprodol, Cyclobenzaprine) and other antihistaminic medicines (Cetrizine, Diphenhydramine, etc) should be consumed with caution.
