KOFRESS P SYRUP

Product Category: Drugs for Cough and Cold

Composition: Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 7.5mg, Chlorpheniramine Maleate 1mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 2.5mg

Therapeutic Category: Cough Suppressant (Antitussive) – Dextromethorphan Hydro bromide , Antihistamine (H1 Receptor Blocker, Anti-allergic) – Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Nasal Decongestant (Sympathomimetic Agent) – Phenylephrine Hydrochloride

Mechanism of Action: The combination of Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride acts synergistically to relieve symptoms of cough, cold, and nasal congestion. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that acts on the medullary cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough without causing respiratory depression. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a first-generation antihistamine (H1 receptor blocker) that helps reduce allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes by inhibiting histamine action. It also has mild sedative effects. Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist that causes vasoconstriction in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and congestion, thereby improving airflow. Together, these three drugs provide comprehensive relief from cold and flu symptoms, combining cough suppression, allergy symptom relief, and nasal decongestion in a single formulation.
