Medicine Description codaphen-n
codaphen n 120 ml syrup is a medication that combines chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine, and dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine at H1 receptors, thereby alleviating allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Dextromethorphan acts on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough, making it effective for treating dry coughs. Together, these active ingredients help manage symptoms of allergies and coughs without addressing underlying respiratory conditions.
