Bricarex-DX Junior Syrup 1*100ML

Bricarex-DX Junior Syrup is a specially formulated combination medicine used for the treatment of dry or non-productive cough in children. It provides quick and effective relief from throat irritation, sneezing, and runny nose commonly associated with allergic reactions or common colds. The medicine works by calming the cough center in the brain and blocking histamine, a chemical responsible for allergy symptoms.

How Bricarex-DX Junior Syrup Works

Bricarex-DX Junior Syrup contains two active ingredients — Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic medicine that blocks histamine, reducing sneezing, watery eyes, and throat irritation. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that acts directly on the cough center in the brain to decrease the frequency and intensity of coughing. Together, they help your child get relief from persistent dry cough and sleep comfortably.

• Avoid over-the-counter sedatives or antihistamines while using this syrup
• Do not drive or perform activities requiring mental alertness if feeling sleepy
