Actifed Dm Syrup is a combination of medications primarily used to treat dry cough. It is also used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is created to help clear your airways.

Actifed Dm Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant) and Triprolidine (antihistamine). Dextromethorphan belongs to the class of cough suppressants that works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, and Triprolidine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
