About Cozin DX Syrup Sugar Free

Cozin DX Syrup Sugar Free is used to treat coughs associated with a runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Cozin DX Syrup Sugar Free is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorphenamine maleate blocks the effects of histamine, reducing allergy symptoms. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide prevents cough by blocking signals from the brain’s cough centre.

In some cases, Cozin DX Syrup Sugar Free may cause certain common side effects such as dry mouth/throat/nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, and restlessness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
