Drug Interactions
Promethazine HCl 1.25 mg/mL / Dextromethorphan HBr 3 mg/mL Oral Syrup is a medication used to treat cold and cough symptoms, such as nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, and congestion. It works by relieving the symptoms associated with colds and flu.
How Does it Work
Promethazine HCl 1.25 mg/mL / Dextromethorphan HBr 3 mg/mL Oral Syrup is an effective medication for the treatment of general cough and cold symptoms. This medication is a combination of both Promethazine HCl, an antihistamine and Dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant. The antihistamine works to block histamine, a chemical produced by the body in response to an allergen. Histamine can produce a wide range of symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. By blocking the effects of histamine, the antihistamine in the medication can effectively treat allergy symptoms. The Dextromethorphan HBr helps to suppress the cough reflex by decreasing the activity of the nerves which trigger coughing. This helps to reduce coughing fits and helps the patient to rest and recover more quickly.
Other Uses
Promethazine HCl 1.25 mg/mL / Dextromethorphan HBr 3 mg/mL Oral Syrup is a compounded formulation that can be used in the treatment of conditions beyond General - Cough/Cold Symptoms.
