What Experts Say

Cosom combines dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant that acts on the brain's cough center, with chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine that dries up runny nose and reduces sneezing, and pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that shrinks swollen nasal blood vessels.

This combination is meant for short term relief of cold and flu symptoms rather than a cough caused by a chest infection or asthma. A cough that lasts more than a week or comes with fever, chest pain or breathing difficulty needs medical evaluation.

Because chlorpheniramine can cause drowsiness and pseudoephedrine can raise heart rate and blood pressure, people with heart conditions, high blood pressure or glaucoma should check with a doctor or pharmacist before using this syrup.
