Cough AND FLU ACTIFED DRUG PLUS 60 ML SYRUP EXPECTORANT
General Indication
This medicine is used to relieve colds and cough with phlegm.
Description
ACTIFED PLUS EXPECTORANT is a drug containing Triprolidine HCl, Pseudoephedrine HCl, and Guaiphenesin. This medicine is used to relieve colds and cough with phlegm. Triprolidine acts as a competitive antagonist for histamine H1 receptors and is able to suppress the central nervous system, causing drowsiness. Pseudoephedrine has direct or indirect sympathomimetic activity and is an upper airway decongestant. Guaiphenesin acts as an expectorant, by decreasing the viscosity of mucus by increasing the volume and water content of throat secretions, thereby assisting the excretion of sputum.
