Mar-Cof BP

Q: What is Mar-cof BP?

Mar-cof BP is a combination of three medications that work together to relieve symptoms caused by the common cold and allergies, such as runny or stuffy nose, cough, and itchy throat. __Brompheniramine__ is an [antihistamine](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538188/) that blocks a natural chemical in your body called histamine from working. This can help with sneezing, itchy, runny nose, or itchy eyes. __Codeine__ is an [opioid](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1950526/) that works in your brain to lower your urge to cough. __Pseudoephedrine__ is a [decongestant](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539896/) that clears your sinuses to relieve sinus pressure.
