How Chlorpheniramine+Dextromethorphan+Phenylephrine works

Chlorpheniramine+Dextromethorphan+Phenylephrine relieves symptoms of allergy and the common cold. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine binding to the histamine H1 receptor and helps alleviate symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and watery and itchy eyes.

Dextromethorphan suppresses the non-productive cough associated with a cold by suppressing the cough reflex by directly acting on the cough center in the brain, and phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, which can help reduce nasal congestion and improve breathing.
