BIOREX SYRUP

BIOREX SYRUP contains anti-tussive (relieve cough) medication primarily used to treat dry cough. Cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign irritant or mucus in the throat. Mostly cough lasts for a short time (two to three weeks), so it is acute. But sometimes, if it is persistent for more than eight weeks it can lead to chronic cough. Dry cough refers to a cough where there is no mucus or secretion along with cough.

BIOREX SYRUP is a combination drug that contains, Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), and Phenylpropanolamine (decongestant), and is primarily used to treat dry cough. Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Take BIOREX SYRUP as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take BIOREX SYRUP based on your medical condition. The most common side effects of BIOREX SYRUP are nausea, sleepiness, upset stomach, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), high blood pressure, and palpitations. Most of these side effects of BIOREX SYRUP do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting BIOREX SYRUP. If you have high blood pressure (hypertension),  liver or kidney disease, or coronary artery disease (heart disease), avoid using BIOREX SYRUP as it may worsen your existing condition and symptom. Consumption of alcohol should be avoided as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sleepiness. Do not take BIOREX SYRUP if you have taken an MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline, and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days.

Also, some medications, especially angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors used for hypertension, are known to cause cough.
