How Alex+ Syrup works

Alex+ Syrup Sugar Free is a combination of four medicines. Dextromethorphan acts on the cough centre in the brain to reduce the urge to cough. Guaifenesin helps loosen and thin mucus, making it easier to cough out. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergy symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. Phenylephrine acts on blood vessels in the nasal passages to help reduce nasal congestion.

Dosage

Take Alex+ Syrup Sugar Free only as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the recommended dose and duration of treatment. Shake it well if it is a syrup, before use and measure it using a proper measuring cup or spoon. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or combine it with other cough-and-cold medicines without consulting your doctor.

Quick tips

Alex+ Syrup Sugar Free helps in the treatment of dry cough.
It is usually taken only for a short time until the symptoms clear up.
Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon.
Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication.
Stop taking Alex+ Syrup Sugar Free and inform your doctor if your cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by a fever, rash or persistent headache.
