Toxolite DX Syrup belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold preparations' primarily used to treat cough due to 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. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum. 

Toxolite DX Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Chlorphenamine maleate and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorphenamine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  Dextromethorphan hydrobromide blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Together, Toxolite DX Syrup helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms. 

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration of Toxolite DX Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry mouth/throat/nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, and restlessness. Most of these side effects of Toxolite DX Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before starting Toxolite DX Syrup. Toxolite DX Syrup is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. Toxolite DX Syrup may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Toxolite DX Syrup as it may cause increased dizziness and drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Toxolite DX Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate (antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (cough suppressant). Chlorphenamine maleate belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide belongs to the class of cough suppressants that block the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, together Toxolite DX Syrup helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms. 

Do not take Toxolite DX Syrup if you are allergic to any of the contents. Avoid using Toxolite DX Syrup if you have taken medicines such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, and methylene blue injection in the past 14 days. It is advised to seek medical help if the cough does not go away or if it is followed by a high fever, skin rash, or persistent headache. Toxolite DX Syrup may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision in some patients; therefore, drive only if you are alert. Toxolite DX Syrup should not be used in elderly patients with confusion. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Toxolite DX Syrup as it might cause increased dizziness.
