Introduction
Bricarex-DX Syrup is a combination of Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, used to treat dry cough. It works by reducing the activity of the brain's cough center and blocking the effects of histamine. This syrup provides temporary relief from throat irritation, sneezing, and running nose. While it is effective in managing symptoms, it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 7 days or are accompanied by fever, rash, or headache.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Bricarex-DX Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Bricarex-DX Syrup is a combination of Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic that helps reduce cough associated with allergies by blocking the effects of histamine. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain.
Quick Tips
Bricarex-DX Syrup helps relieve dry persistent cough. Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. It may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Bricarex-DX Syrup as it can cause excessive drowsiness. Inform your doctor if your cough lasts more than 7 days, comes back, or occurs with fever, rash, or headache that lasts. These could be signs of a serious condition.
