Uses of Actifed-DM 1.25mg/30mg/10mg Syrup

Actifed-DM 1.25mg/30mg/10mg Syrup is used for short-term relief of a dry, tickly cough that comes with a cold or allergy, along with a blocked or runny nose and sneezing. It helps you feel more comfortable while the illness runs its course. It is not intended for chesty coughs with a lot of phlegm, and does not treat the cause of the infection.

How Actifed-DM 1.25mg/30mg/10mg Syrup works

Triprolidine is an antihistamine that dries up a runny nose and reduces sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nose to ease a blocked nose. Dextromethorphan acts on the cough centre in the brain to reduce the urge to cough.
