How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 30 mg/Guaifenesin 100 mg/Dextromethorphan HBr 10 mg Capsules is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, and other respiratory illnesses. This combination medication encapsulates the benefits of four active ingredients, each with a specific role in symptom relief.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine, works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. Pseudoephedrine HCl, a decongestant, reduces congestion by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, aids in thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, facilitating its expulsion through coughing. Dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant, works by decreasing the activity of the cough reflex, thereby reducing the urge to cough.

This formulation is encapsulated in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, providing a precise dosage of the active ingredients and allowing for convenient and easy swallowing. The medication should be taken orally, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended duration of use. Always take this medication with a full glass of water to aid in absorption.

When used as directed, this medication can help relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion. It may also help to reduce coughing and chest congestion associated with respiratory illnesses. If you have any questions about this formulation or its mechanism of action, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
