Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Phenylephrine HCl 20 mg, Guaifenesin 600 mg, Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg, and Dextromethorphan HBr 50 mg in capsule form is designed to provide relief from symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections. These symptoms may include nasal congestion, cough, and runny nose. Additionally, this formulation can be used to treat allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

Phenylephrine HCl, a nasal decongestant, works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing congestion. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, aids in thinning and loosening mucus in the lungs, making it easier to cough up. Brompheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine, blocks the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant, works by decreasing the activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing.

However, this formulation is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used by patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, severe high blood pressure, or severe coronary artery disease. It is also contraindicated for patients who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or have taken them within the last 14 days. Furthermore, patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients in this formulation should avoid its use.

Patients should adhere to the recommended dose of this formulation. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to contact a healthcare provider. Similarly, any side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, or difficulty urinating should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation combines four active ingredients: Phenylephrine HCl 20 mg, Guaifenesin 600 mg, Brompheniramine Maleate 8 mg, and Dextromethorphan HBr 50 mg. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in alleviating symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and coughs.

Phenylephrine HCl, a decongestant, narrows the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces congestion and facilitates easier breathing. It is commonly used to alleviate nasal congestion resulting from allergies, colds, and sinus infections.

Guaifenesin, an expectorant, aids in loosening mucus and thinning bronchial secretions. This process makes it easier to expel mucus through coughing. It is typically used to treat chest congestion caused by allergies, colds, and other respiratory illnesses.

Brompheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine, works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. It is used to manage symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes.

Dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant, functions by reducing the activity of the cough reflex. It is used to treat dry, non-productive coughs.

This formulation is designed for oral administration, typically every 4-6 hours as needed. It is crucial to adhere to the directions on the label and avoid exceeding the recommended dose. If you have any queries about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
