Xpect-D Syrup

Introduction

Xpect-D Syrup is a combination medication primarily used to provide relief from symptoms associated with respiratory conditions. It contains two active ingredients: **Chlorpheniramine Maleate** (antihistamine) and **Phenylephrine** (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine helps reduce allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching, while Phenylephrine works to relieve nasal congestion.

Together, they provide symptomatic relief from respiratory issues caused by allergies and colds.
