How Kidylinctus Z Syrup works
Kidylinctus Z Syrup contains three active medicines: Promethazine, Pholcodine, and Phenylephrine. These work together and provide relief from dry cough associated with allergic reactions. Promethazine is an antiallergic. It blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) which triggers cough caused due to allergy. Pholcodine is a cough suppressant. It suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
