Alex P Syrup 60 ml

Alex P Syrup 60 ml is used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as “rhinoviruses”. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks. Allergies are caused due to the 'allergens' that cause 'histamine' to release in the blood, thereby causing a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching nose/throat, etc. 

Alex P Syrup 60 ml is a combination of five drugs, namely: Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Sodium citrate, and menthol. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Menthol relieves minor irritation in the throat and provides a cooling sensation.

Take Alex P Syrup 60 ml as advised by your doctor.
