Product Information:

OLCUF 120ml Syrup is a combination cough and cold remedy designed to relieve multiple symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. While formulations may vary slightly by manufacturer, OLCUF Syrup typically contains the following active ingredients per 5ml:

1. Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg – an antihistamine that reduces sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes
2. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10mg – a non-narcotic cough suppressant that acts on the brain’s cough center
3. Guaifenesin 50mg – an expectorant that thins and loosens mucus for easier clearance

Unlike “OLCUF PLUS,” this version does not contain a decongestant (e.g., phenylephrine), making it suitable for patients with hypertension or those avoiding stimulant-like side effects.
