AMROX JUNIOR SYRUP 60ML

Product Introduction:

Amrox Junior Syrup is a combination medication containing Ambroxol (15mg/5ml), Guaifenesin (50mg/5ml), and Terbutaline (1.25mg/5ml). This syrup is commonly used as an expectorant and bronchodilator, primarily indicated for respiratory conditions such as cough associated with excessive mucus production and bronchospasm.

Give Amrox Junior Syrup to your child orally, with or without food. Give it with food to reduce the chances of stomach upset. You may be required to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon your child’s clinical condition and severity of the illness. Do not stop the medication abruptly by yourself, even if your child starts to feel better. Continue the medicine until the prescribed course is complete. Do not give more than the prescribed dose for fast relief as it may cause unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition.

If your child vomits soon after taking Amrox Junior Syrup, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. Skip the dose if it is time for the next dose. Do not overdose to catch up for the missed one. Do not give this medicine to your child for the long term without consulting your child’s doctor. Check the medicine label thoroughly and never combine this medicine with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects.

Amrox Junior Syrup may have some common and temporary side effects. These may include excessive salivation, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, irregular heartbeat, rash, tremors, and numbness or tingling sensation in the hands or feet. In case of worrisome episodes, call your child’s doctor right away.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history, including any previous episode of respiratory illness, allergy, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, sinus issues, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Benefits:

1. Mucus Clearance: Ambroxol and Guaifenesin work together as expectorants to help thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the respiratory passages.
2. Bronchodilation: Terbutaline acts as a bronchodilator, helping to relax the smooth muscles of the airways, thereby relieving bronchospasm and improving airflow to the lungs.
3. Symptom Relief: Amrox Junior Syrup provides relief from coughing, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing associated with respiratory conditions.

Side Effects:

While Amrox Junior Syrup is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, which may include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nervousness or tremor (due to the bronchodilator effect of Terbutaline)
• Gastrointestinal upset, such as stomach discomfort or diarrhea
• Allergic reactions (rare but possible)

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, stop using the syrup and seek medical attention promptly.
