Both Dolo-D and Dolo-D Plus are used to relieve cold, flu, and allergy symptoms, but they differ in their pharmaceutical composition. Dolo-D Plus contains an additional ingredient to relieve allergy symptoms. Understanding this difference helps determine the most appropriate medication for symptom relief.
Dolo-D Syrup Ingredients
Dolo-D Syrup contains a combination of two active ingredients that work together to relieve pain, fever, and nasal congestion:
Ibuprofen: A pain reliever and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that works by inhibiting prostaglandin production, reducing pain, inflammation, and fever.
Pseudoephedrine: A decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nose and sinuses, helping to reduce swelling and pressure and ease breathing.
Dolo-D Plus Syrup Ingredients
Dolo-D Plus Syrup contains a triple combination of active ingredients:
Ibuprofen: The same mechanism of action as Dolo-D (pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and fever reducer).
Pseudoephedrine: works in the same way as Dolo-D (a decongestant).
Chlorphenamine: an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released by the body in response to allergens that causes symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy, and watery eyes.
