Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Guaifenesin

Combined cough expectorants Prescription

Indications

Cough

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Guaifenesin gives relief from the symptoms that come with a common cold, such as dry cough and chest congestion.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

This tablet combines Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan HBr. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant, and it relieves cough by blocking the cough centre in the brain. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It makes the cough thinner by increasing the flow of fluids in the bronchial secretion, and that helps the person bring the cough up.
