This medication combines antitussive, decongestant, and antihistamine properties. Dextromethorphan is a non-narcotic antitussive with a central action on the cough center in the medulla that is safe and effective. Despite its molecular similarity to Morphine, it lacks analgesic and habit-forming characteristics, and has little sedative activity in general. Decongestant phenylephrine shrinks blood vessels in the nose stream. Phenylephrine is used to relieve stuffy nose, sinus, and ear symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies, sinusitis, and bronchitis for a short period of time. This drug works by reducing swelling in the nose and ears, which relieves pain and makes it easier to breathe.Triprolidine is an antihistamine that helps to reduce allergy, hay fever, and cold symptoms. Rashes, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing are some of the symptoms. It's a pyrrolidine-class competitive histamine H1-receptor antagonist with modest central nervous system depressive characteristics that can make you sleepy. It helps dry up some body fluids by antagonizing another natural molecule called acetylcholine, which relieves symptoms like watery eyes and a runny nose.
