Alcod DM

Alcod DM Oral Suspension is used to relieve common cold and flu symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, cough, fever, headache, and body aches. These symptoms can make everyday activities uncomfortable and affect sleep and productivity. By targeting multiple symptoms together, Alcod DM Oral Suspension helps provide relief and makes it easier to manage the discomfort associated with colds and flu.

Alcod DM Oral Suspension contains chlorpheniramine maleate, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, paracetamol and phenylephrine, which work together to relieve different cold and flu symptoms. Paracetamol helps reduce fever, headache and body pain. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide acts on the cough center in the brain to help control dry cough. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that reduces swelling in the nasal passages, helping to relieve a blocked nose. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that helps relieve sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. Together, these medicines provide comprehensive relief from multiple cold symptoms and help improve comfort during recovery.
