How it works
Chlorpheniramine maleate : This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose. Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic with a mixed mechanism of action, direct and indirect. It indirectly stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors, causing the release of en- dogenous norepinephrine (NE) from the granularity of neurons, while it directly stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors. Dextromethorphan: Dextromethorphan suppresses a cough by depressing the cough center in the medulla oblongata or the cough receptors.
