How Promethazine DM Works

This  Syrup works in two ways:

• Promethazine HCl blocks histamine receptors, reducing allergy symptoms like sneezing and nasal irritation.

• Dextromethorphan HBr acts on the brain’s cough center to reduce the reflex that causes coughing.

Together, they deliver powerful, non-codeine relief for both cough and allergic reactions.
