This medication is composed of Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, Bromhexine and Chlorpheniramine. Dextromethorphan works as a decongestant by suppressing the nervous system and the part of your brain which is responsible for coughing. It does not really thin the mucus, but certainly provides relief. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which reduces adhesiveness and surface tension of congealed mucus in upper respiratory tract to increase flow of mucous, stimulating and increasing efficiency of the cilia to remove the accumulated mucus. Bromhexine is a synthetic secretolytic agent which help the natural mechanisms to clear respiratory tract mucus. Chlorpheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine, which is used to prevent the allergic symptoms from conditions such as urticaria and rhinitis.

Whenever you take more than one medicine, or mix it with certain foods or beverages, you"re at risk of a drug interaction.
