How MACBERY SYRUP Works
Macbery Syrup Sugar Free contains Ambroxol, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Dextromethorphan, Phenylephrine, and Menthol. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that manages the excess secretion of mucus, thus, it lowers the phlegm viscosity and improves the mucociliary transport of bronchial secretions. Thus, coughing helps to remove the phlegm associated with respiratory diseases. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the effect of histamines (chemicals produced by the body in response to allergens) and manages the release of allergy-causing chemicals that are responsible for the symptoms like sneezing and running or blocked nose. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex in the central nervous system and helps relieve cough. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that helps to increase sinus cavity drainage and relieve nasal congestion. Menthol is added to the combination because of its cooling effect on the throat. Thus, Macbery Syrup Sugar Free eliminates phlegm and relieves cough, cold, and allergy symptoms.
