Sendex Syrup

Sendex Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat symptoms of the common cold, allergic rhinitis, and upper respiratory tract infections.

How Sendex Syrup Works

Phenylephrine acts as a nasal decongestant by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that blocks histamine to reduce sneezing and watery eyes. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide suppresses the cough reflex in the brain, helping to control dry cough.
