Dimetapp

Dimetapp is a combination preparation marketed to relieve symptoms of the common cold, manufactured by Pfizer (formerly Wyeth). It contains brompheniramine (an antihistamine) and phenylephrine (decongestant replacing the formerly-used pseudoephedrine, which itself replaced phenylpropanolamine). Dimetapp DM additionally contains dextromethorphan (an antitussive or cough suppressant). Dimetapp Elixir and Colour Free Elixir are intended to relieve nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy watery eyes and sneezing, whereas Dimetapp DM and Dimetapp DM Colour Free Elixir are intended for colds with dry coughs and also to treat whooping cough. Most Dimetapp products have a strong grape candy flavor.
