Kuff Heal 250ml Syrup

Chlorpheniramine, a first-generation antihistamine, blocks H1-receptor sites, preventing histamine from binding and causing allergic symptoms. Dextromethorphan acts centrally to suppress the cough reflex by affecting the brain's response to the cough stimulus. Phenylephrine, a sympathomimetic amine, constricts dilated blood vessels by selectively stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors, reducing nasal congestion and promoting sinus drainage.
