It is a combination of Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylephrine, and it belongs to a group of medicines called Antihistamines, Antitussives, and Decongestants. The common cold is a viral infection that affects the nose or throat and causes several symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, sore throat, headaches, muscle aches, coughs, sneezing, fever, pressure in the ears and face, and loss of taste and smell.
Tusq-DX syrup is not suitable for children under two years of age, as it has not been studied for safety and efficacy in that age group.
