Dextroz Syrup

Dextroz Syrup is a triple-action cough and cold remedy designed to provide fast relief from dry cough, nasal congestion, and allergic symptoms. It contains Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml), Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml), and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml), a combination that effectively tackles symptoms associated with colds, flu, and upper respiratory tract infections. Dextroz Syrup works by suppressing cough, clearing blocked nasal passages, and relieving allergy-related discomfort, making it a reliable choice for both adults and children (under medical supervision).
