What is Dicel DM

Dicel DM is a medicine that is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, cough and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold or the flu. It is a combination of chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine. Chlorpheniramine reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Dextromethorphan affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex. Pseudoephedrine shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
