Cofaid DC Liquid contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide, chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a centrally acting cough suppressant (antitussive drug) that treats dry cough. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine (a sedating H1-receptor antagonist) that relieves allergy symptoms. Phenylephrine is a direct-acting adrenergic agonist, and it helps by constricting the blood vessels in your nose to reduce signs of nasal congestion, like a stuffy nose.

Cofaid DC Liquid provides relief from dry cough, nasal congestion and allergic symptoms associated with various respiratory infections.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant (antitussive drug) that works by centrally acting on the part of the central nervous system that causes coughing.

Phenylephrine is a synthetic direct-acting adrenergic agonist. It reduces nasal congestion by acting on adrenergic receptors that affect the contraction of blood vessels.

Chlorpheniramine maleate is an H1-receptor antagonist. It is an antihistamine which works against histamines, a chemical substance responsible for most allergic responses, such as coughing, sneezing and runny nose.
