Coldex Capsule is a combination of three medicines: Phenylpropanolamine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, which relieve dry cough. Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of cough centre in the brain.
