Uses of Chericof Syrup
Benefits of Chericof Syrup
In Treatment of Dry cough
A dry cough is a non-productive cough that causes throat irritation and discomfort. Chericof Syrup helps suppress the cough reflex and reduce throat irritation. It also relieves associated allergy symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. This helps reduce coughing and improves overall comfort.
In Treatment of Common cold
The common cold can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, a runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. Chericof Syrup helps reduce nasal congestion by narrowing blood vessels and controlling allergy-related symptoms. This helps relieve stuffiness, sneezing, and irritation, making breathing easier.

How Chericof Syrup works
Chericof Syrup is a combination of three medicines: phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels in the nose, providing relief from nasal congestion or stuffiness. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antiallergic medicine that relieves symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain.
