How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Phenylephrine HCl 20 mg/Guaifenesin 600 mg/Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg Capsules is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. This medication is a combination of three active ingredients, each with a specific role in symptom relief.

Phenylephrine HCl is a decongestant that functions by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces congestion and swelling, making it easier to breathe. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that aids in thinning and loosening mucus in the lungs, facilitating its expulsion through coughing. Brompheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergy symptoms.

When taken as directed, this combination medication can effectively relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and coughing. Additionally, it can help reduce fever and body aches associated with these conditions.
