Dry Cough

Medicinal Benefits:

Toff DC DT Tablet is a combination drug belonging to a medication class called 'cough and cold preparations' primarily used to treat dry cough. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine is a 'decongestant' that helps shrink the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, Toff DC DT Tablet helps to relieve overall cough, cold and allergic symptoms.
