Enrex Syrup

Enrex Syrup is a combination medicine used to relieve symptoms of the common cold, allergies, and upper respiratory infections. It combines three active ingredients: Phenylephrine (a nasal decongestant), Chlorpheniramine Maleate (an antihistamine), and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (a cough suppressant). This formula helps reduce coughing, nasal stuffiness, sneezing, and runny nose, offering fast and effective relief.
