How Nilcold-DM Syrup works

Nilcold-DM Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Levocetirizine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Ammonium Chloride, and Menthol. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine medication. It treats allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) in the body. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is an antitussive (cough suppressants). It suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Menthol has mild cooling and decongestant properties that help soothe the cough and ease congestion in the lungs.
