You can take cough syrups containing Dextromethorphan and Phenylepherine for control of cough and congestion if it is dry cough. However if you are suffering from severe hypertension, you should not take this syrup. If you have hypertension, you can take medicine containing only Dextromethorphan such as Alex cough lozenges. If you are suffering from cough with lot of sputum, Then you can take cough syrups containing Ammonium chloride Cetrezine and Phenylepherine which help to bring out the sputum.
