DCPIX-DX COUGH SYRUP 60ML

100 ML WITH BOX & PP CAP PLAIN SILVER GMP PRINTED  AMBER BOTTLE

CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE belongs to a category of  'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes or itchy/watery nose and throat. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus'. The virus attacks the body through the mouth, nose, or eyes and spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks.

CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE contains Cetirizine (antihistamine/antiallergic), Phenylephrine (decongestant) and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic). Cetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (antiallergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing a stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever.

CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you take CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, nausea, fatigue, dryness in the mouth, headache, and vomiting. Everyone doesn't need to experience the above side effects. Most of these side effects of CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE if you have taken an MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days. Intake of more than 4 gm of paracetamol can damage your liver, so it is better to avoid the use of CETIRIZINE+PARACETAMOL+PHENYLEPHRINE in severe liver damage.
