About CHLORPHENIRAMINE(2MG/5ML) + DEXTROMETHORPHAN(10MG/5ML)
Introduction
This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine (2mg/5ml) and Dextromethorphan (10mg/5ml). It is commonly used to provide relief from cough and cold symptoms. This syrup formulation combines an antihistamine with a cough suppressant to address multiple symptoms at once.
Uses
This combination is used to treat dry cough and symptoms associated with common cold, allergies, and upper respiratory tract infections. It helps relieve sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and persistent non-productive cough. It is typically prescribed for temporary relief of these symptoms caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation.
Benefits
The medicine provides dual benefits by reducing both cough and allergic symptoms. Chlorpheniramine helps control sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes, while Dextromethorphan suppresses the urge to cough. This combination allows patients to rest better, especially at night, and helps them manage daily activities more comfortably during cold and flu season.
Side effects
Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, and blurred vision. Some people may experience constipation, headache, or upset stomach. Most side effects are mild and temporary, resolving as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe dizziness, difficulty urinating, or unusual excitement (especially in children), consult your doctor promptly.
How to use
Take this syrup exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Measure the dose carefully using the measuring cup provided. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help if you experience stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Shake the bottle well before each use. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding dosage and duration.
How it works
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms like sneezing and runny nose. Dextromethorphan works on the cough center in the brain to reduce the urge to cough. Together, they provide relief from both cough and cold symptoms by addressing different pathways in the body.
Safety advice
Avoid alcohol as it may increase drowsiness. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel sleepy or dizzy. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use with caution in elderly patients and those with liver or kidney problems. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, especially antidepressants, sedatives, or other cold medications. Not recommended for children under 2 years without medical advice.
