Key Components and Their Actions:
Asthakind DX Syrup is a combination of three active ingredients:
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate: This is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance naturally produced by the body during an allergic reaction. It helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching.
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: This is a cough suppressant that acts on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough. It is particularly effective for dry, non-productive coughs.
- Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: This is a nasal decongestant. It works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and congestion, thereby relieving a stuffy or blocked nose.
