How it works
Soventus-D Syrup is composed of Ambroxol, Chlorpheniramine and Dextromethorphan. Ambroxol works by promoting mucus clearance and easing a productive cough. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of certain substances produced by your body which induce allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan blocks the signals from your brain that trigger the cough reflex and thus it helps suppress the cough.
