Torex Junior Cough Syrup Substitute

Torex Junior Cough Syrup is a combination drug, primarily used to treat dry cough. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine is a 'decongestant' that helps in shrinking the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough.

Consuming alcohol, along with Torex Junior Cough Syrup, may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. If used together, it may lead to symptoms like confusion, central nervous system depression, impairment of thinking and judgment.

No, you should not take Torex Junior Cough Syrup if you need to undergo surgery as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sleepiness when given along with anesthesia.
