Medicinal Benefits

Corex T Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Triprolidine and Codeine. Triprolidine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Codeine belongs to the class of narcotic cough suppressants that block the μ-opioid receptor in the brain that produces cough, thereby decreasing the urge to cough. Corex T Syrup is used to treat cough associated with a common cold or upper respiratory allergies.
