Preferred Label : Triaminic Syrup;
NCIt definition : Any of the commercial combination preparations, by Novartis, that is taken orally
as syrup containing all or a combination of the following agents: the analgesic antipyretic
acetaminophen, the antihistamine chlorpheniramine maleate, the antitussive dextromethorphan
hydrobromide and the decongestant pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The particular combination
depends on the symptoms that need to be treated such as cough, congestion, fever,
allergy and sore throat. Acetaminophen exerts its actions by inhibiting prostaglandin
synthesis. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the effects of histamine. Dextromethorphan
hydrobromide raises the threshold for coughing in the cough center. Pseudoephedrine,
a sympathomimetic agent, causes vasoconstriction mediated through alpha-adrenergic
receptors, thereby reducing blood flow which decreases swelling and prevents nasal
and sinus congestion.;
