Alex Plus Liquid 50 ml

Question 1

How does Alex Plus Liquid 50 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Alex Plus Liquid 50 ml contains Guaifenesin, Dextromethorphan, Phenylephrine and Chlorpheniramine. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus and helps to remove it from airways. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, decreases the need to cough. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production.
