Pharmacology
This preparation combines three medicines: a cough suppressant, a decongestant and an antihistamine. Dextromethorphan is a safe and effective non-narcotic cough suppressant. It acts on the cough centre in the medulla, which is in the brain. It is structurally related to Morphine, but it has no pain-relieving effect and is not habit forming, and in general it causes little sedation.
Phenylephrine is a decongestant. It shrinks the blood vessels in the nasal passage, and it is used to treat nasal and sinus congestion of the tubes that drain fluid from the inner ear.
Triprolidine gives symptomatic relief in conditions believed to depend wholly or partly on the triggered release of histamine. It is a potent competitive histamine H1-receptor antagonist of the pyrrolidine class. It also has mild central nervous system depressant properties, which may cause drowsiness.
