How Tixylix Syrup works
This is a combination of two medicines. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, easing allergy-linked symptoms that can trigger coughing. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that acts on the cough centre in the brain to reduce the urge to cough.
