Medicinal Benefits

Alex-BL Syrup  is used to provide relief from acute cough and upper respiratory symptoms, including nasal congestion, associated with allergy or the common cold.  Alex-BL Syrup contains Bilastine (antihistamine), Dextromethorphan (anti-tussive) and Phenylephrine (decongestants). Bilastine blocks the action of histamine (chemical messenger), which causes allergies. Dextromethorphan reduces cough by acting on the cough centre in the brain. Phenylephrine works by reducing swelling of the blood vessels in the nasal passages. Together, Alex-BL Syrup provides relief from cough and cold.
