Description

VOCKA Dextromethorphan Phenylephrine Guaiphenesin Syrup is a combination medication used to relieve symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, and other respiratory illnesses. It contains a cough suppressant, a decongestant, and an expectorant.

Uses:

This combination syrup is primarily used for:

1. Cough Relief: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide acts as a cough suppressant to reduce the urge to cough.
2. Nasal Congestion: Phenylephrine hydrochloride, a decongestant, reduces nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages.
3. Mucus Clearance: Guaiphenesin, an expectorant, helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear.

Mechanism of Action:

• Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: Works on the cough center in the brain to suppress the cough reflex.
• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: Constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to decreased swelling and congestion.
• Guaiphenesin: Increases the volume and reduces the viscosity of secretions in the airways, aiding in their clearance.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive Symptom Relief: Provides multi-symptom relief from cough, nasal congestion, and mucus production.
• Convenient Dosing: Combines three medications in one syrup, reducing the need for multiple medications.
