Introduction
Topcoril DX Syrup is a medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold and cough. It effectively addresses issues such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion. The syrup combines three active ingredients: Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant, narrowing small blood vessels to relieve nasal congestion. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic that mitigates allergy symptoms like runny nose and watery eyes. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide serves as a cough suppressant, reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. While generally safe, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Topcoril DX Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Quick Tips
Topcoril DX Syrup helps in the treatment of dry cough and other common cold symptoms. It is usually taken only for a short time until the symptoms clear up. Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular tablespoon. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor if your cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by a fever, rash, or persistent headache.
