Alex-BL Syrup
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Alex-BL Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat cold symptoms and cough. It suppresses cough, helping to reduce the urge to cough by affecting the signals in the brain. It also relieves allergy symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and throat irritation associated with the common cold.
Alex-BL Syrup may be taken with or without food. Take it in the dose and duration as provided by your doctor or as indicated on the packaging. The dose and duration of the treatment will depend on the patient's age and condition. Take it at regular intervals for maximum benefits. Do not take more than prescribed, as it could lead to harmful side effects.
There is limited data on common side effects of Alex-BL Syrup. However, some may experience side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and nausea. These side effects are generally mild and go away on their own. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, let your doctor know.
While taking Alex-BL Syrup, avoid consuming alcohol, as it can increase the drowsiness effect of the medication. Use caution when combining it with other cold or cough medicines to avoid overdose, especially those that may also contain decongestants or antihistamines.
If you have any preexisting medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, or a thyroid disorder, let your doctor know before starting the treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before taking this medicine.

How Alex-BL Syrup works
Alex-BL Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Dextromethorphan hydrochloride, bilastine, and phenylephrine. Dextromethorphan hydrochloride suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the brain's cough center. Bilastine blocks histamine receptors to reduce allergy symptoms like sneezing and runny nose. Phenylephrine narrows blood vessels in the nasal passages to relieve congestion and improve breathing. Together, these three components work together to relieve cough, allergy symptoms, and nasal congestion, providing comprehensive relief from cold symptoms.
