Isp Cough D Syrup 100ml

Isp Syrup is a medication formulated with three active ingredients: chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine functions as an antihistamine, reducing allergic reactions such as sneezing and runny nose. Dextromethorphan acts as a cough suppressant, targeting the cough reflex to alleviate coughing.

Phenylephrine serves as a decongestant, working to clear nasal passages by reducing swelling. This combination provides temporary symptomatic relief from conditions associated with the common cold or allergies, including cough, throat irritation, sneezing, and nasal congestion. The medication works by addressing these symptoms through its anti-allergic, cough suppressant, and decongestant properties.

Users may experience drowsiness or dizziness as potential side effects; therefore, caution is advised when driving or operating heavy machinery until the individual's response to the medication is known. It is essential to adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage. According to an advisory from the Union Health Ministry, cough and cold medications are not recommended for prescription or dispensing to children under two years of age and are generally not advised for children under five years old.

For children above this age, any use should be based on careful clinical evaluation and close supervision by a healthcare professional.
