Product Introduction:
Alex Cold Syrup is a combination medication that contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml) and Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml). It is formulated to provide relief from symptoms associated with the common cold, including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and other allergy-related symptoms.
Alex Cold Syrup may be given to your child with or without food. Administer it in the exact dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose and duration of the treatment will depend on your child’s condition and how they respond to the medicine. Continue to give the medicine for as long as the doctor has recommended.
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, and headache. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact the doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects experienced by the child. This medicine can also cause sleepiness, so do not let your child do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects them.
It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking Alex Cold Syrup. Before giving the medicine to your child, let your doctor know if they have any kidney or liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for the child.
Benefits:
- Dual-Action Relief: Alex Cold Syrup combines an antihistamine (Chlorpheniramine Maleate) and a decongestant (Phenylephrine) to provide comprehensive relief from cold and allergy symptoms.
- Nasal Decongestion: Phenylephrine works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing congestion and promoting easier breathing.
- Antihistamine Action: Chlorpheniramine Maleate helps alleviate symptoms such as itching, watery eyes, and sneezing by blocking the effects of histamine.
