Dester Syrup

I found information for Dexter Syrup and variations of it, as “Dester Syrup” may be a misspelling or a less common local brand.

Dexter Syrup (Common Cold/Cough Formula) is a medication primarily used for the treatment of the common cold and cough, including dry cough.

Key components and actions typically include a combination of three types of medicines:

1. Dextromethorphan (Cough Suppressant): Works on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough, providing relief from dry coughs.
2. Chlorpheniramine (Antihistamine) or Bilastine (Antihistamine): Helps relieve allergy symptoms associated with a cold, such as sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, and throat irritation.
3. Phenylephrine (Nasal Decongestant): Works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion, which helps relieve stuffy nose and makes breathing easier.

General Uses:

• Temporary relief from cough, throat irritation, sneezing, watery eyes, runny or stuffed nose due to an allergy or common cold.
• Treatment of dry cough.

Important Note:

• Dexter Syrup is a medication and should be taken only in the dose and duration as advised by a doctor.
• It can cause side effects like drowsiness or dizziness, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.
• Another product called Dexter Syrup containing Multivitamins and Minerals is also listed by some manufacturers, which is used for general debility and nutritional support.

Always consult a healthcare professional for specific medical advice, dosage, and to ensure you are taking the correct product for your condition.
