CODISTAR DC SYP 100ML

About

Codistar DC Syrup 100ml is a combination medication formulated to provide symptomatic relief from cough and cold symptoms. It typically contains Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine. Dextromethorphan acts on the cough center in the brain to suppress the cough reflex, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of coughing. Chlorpheniramine Maleate works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, which helps to alleviate allergic symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes.

This synergistic combination addresses multiple symptoms commonly associated with the common cold, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. The cough suppressant component helps to provide relief from dry, irritating coughs, while the antihistamine component reduces the discomfort caused by allergic reactions. The syrup formulation ensures ease of administration, particularly for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills. It is designed to offer comprehensive relief, improving comfort and allowing for better rest during periods of illness, but should be used under medical guidance.
