How it works
Coldrif Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol, and Sodium Citrate. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). Sodium citrate is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out.

In what all conditions should I avoid giving Coldrif Syrup to my child?

Always inform your physician about any pre-existing medical conditions before administering Coldrif Syrup.
My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two different cough and fever medicines together?
Do not administer more than one cough or cold medication at once unless advised by their doctor. This is because the ingredients in both medications might be similar, leading to an overdose and potentially severe consequences for your child's health. It is crucial to consult your child’s physician before administering any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medicines intended for adult use to children. Only utilize medications designed specifically for them as these are formulated with appropriate dosages and ingredients, minimizing potential side effects. Carefully check the label of the medication before administering it to your child. Always administer the prescribed dosage.
Can Coldrif Syrup make my child sleepy?
Coldrif Syrup might cause mild drowsiness in some children, which could lead to sleepiness. However, be cautious and avoid using it for inducing sleep as this could mask any underlying sleep disorders such as insomnia. Consulting your child’s doctor is recommended before administering Coldrif Syrup.
How can I store Coldrif Syrup?
Store Coldrif Syrup at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a dry area. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
