Capron DMT

Dextromethorphan helps to suppress coughing, while pyrilamine is used to relieve allergy symptoms.

Capron DMT is a combination medicine that helps with cough, runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes due to allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Capron DMT will not help with a cough caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Capron DMT may also be used for other reasons not mentioned in this medication guide.

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Cold or cough medicine is only for short-term use until your symptoms clear up.

Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
