Dexgen Syrup

Dexgen Syrup is a combination medicine used to relieve dry cough and allergy-related symptoms in children. Each 5ml of Dexgen Syrup contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (5mg), which work together to suppress cough and reduce allergic reactions like sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose. It is a commonly prescribed syrup for children with upper respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis, and throat irritation.
