About CHLORPHENIRAMINE(4MG/5ML) + DEXTROMETHORPHAN(10MG/5ML)
Introduction
This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine (4mg/5ml) and Dextromethorphan (10mg/5ml). It is available as an oral liquid formulation commonly used to provide relief from cough and cold symptoms. This combination works by reducing allergic symptoms and suppressing dry cough.
Uses
This combination is commonly prescribed for: - Relief from dry cough (non-productive cough) - Symptoms of common cold including sneezing and runny nose - Allergic cough and throat irritation - Upper respiratory tract allergies with cough - Seasonal allergic symptoms accompanied by cough
Benefits
This medicine provides dual benefits by combining an antihistamine with a cough suppressant. Chlorpheniramine helps reduce allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Dextromethorphan effectively suppresses dry, irritating cough, providing relief and allowing better rest. Together, they help manage multiple cold and allergy symptoms simultaneously, improving overall comfort during illness.
Side effects
Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, and blurred vision. Some patients may experience nervousness or difficulty sleeping. Most side effects are mild and temporary, usually disappearing as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe dizziness, difficulty urinating, confusion, or rapid heartbeat, contact your doctor promptly.
How to use
Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the label. Measure the dose carefully using the measuring cup or spoon provided. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Shake the bottle well before use. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's 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, itching, and runny nose. Dextromethorphan works in the brain to suppress the cough reflex by affecting the signals in the part of the brain that triggers coughing. Together, they provide relief from both allergic symptoms and dry cough.
Safety advice
Avoid alcohol as it may increase drowsiness and dizziness. This medicine can cause significant drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Use with caution in elderly patients and those with liver or kidney problems. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially antidepressants (MAO inhibitors), sedatives, or other cold medicines. Not recommended for children below certain ages without medical advice. Avoid taking with other medicines containing similar ingredients to prevent overdose.
