Indications

Coprin is used to temporarily relieve symptoms caused by common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), or other upper respiratory allergies. These symptoms include:

  • Non-productive cough due to minor throat or bronchial irritation
  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
  • Itching of the nose or throat
  • Itchy and watery eyes
  • Nasal congestion

Pharmacology

Coprin is a combination of three types of medicines: an antitussive, decongestant, and antihistamine. Dextromethorphan is a non-narcotic medicine that helps suppress coughing by acting on the brain’s cough center. Although similar to morphine, Coprin doesn’t cause pain relief, addiction, or much drowsiness. Pseudoephedrine (Phenylephrine) is a decongestant that shrinks the blood vessels in the nose to reduce stuffiness caused by the common cold, flu, or allergies. Triprolidine is an antihistamine that helps reduce allergy symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Coprin may cause mild drowsiness and helps dry up watery eyes and runny nose by blocking a natural substance in the body called acetylcholine.
