Actions and Spectrum
chlophedianol is a cough suppressant that works by acting on the cough centre in the brain to reduce coughing.
dexbrompheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions.
pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
chlophedianol helps suppress coughing, dexbrompheniramine alleviates allergy symptoms, and pseudoephedrine reduces nasal congestion.

Contraindication/Caution:
Contraindication:
pseudoephedrine should not be used in individuals who have taken or are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within the past 14 days.
Caution:
Pregnancy consideration:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology
chlophedianol works by reducing the sensitivity of the cough reflex, thereby reducing coughing.
dexbrompheniramine exert actions by selectively antagonizing the H1 histamine receptors, thereby reducing the symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching and runny nose.
pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine which works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and congestion.
