What is SuTan-DM?

Dexchlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that decreases the effects of the natural chemical histamine that is present in the body. Histamine may cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, watery eyes, and a runny nose. Dextromethorphan is an effective cough suppressant. It interferes with the signals from the brain that trigger the cough reflex. Pseudoephedrine can be described as a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. The blood vessels are dilapidated and can lead to the nasal passages becoming congested (stuffy nasal congestion).

SuTan-DM is a combination medication that is used to treat congestion, a runny nose, itching, sneezing, eye watering, coughing, and sinus congestion that is caused by allergies or sinus congestion, a typical cold, as well as influenza. SuTan-DM is not a treatment for coughs due to smoke, asthma, or emphysema.SuTan-DM is also employed for other purposes that are not covered in this guideline.
