What is Deltuss DMX?
Dexchlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of the natural chemical histamine within the body. Histamine is known to cause nasal congestion, itching, watery eyes, and a runny nose. Dextromethorphan is an effective cough suppressant. It alters the brain signals that trigger the cough reflex. Pseudoephedrine can be described as a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels that line the nasal passages. Blood vessels that are dilated can cause nose congestion (stuffy nostrils).
