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.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Delcold Syrup by mistake?
Exceeding the prescribed dose of Delcold Syrup can pose risks such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairments, and reduced concentration in children. It is crucial to strictly adhere to the recommended dosage. Use the calibrated measuring cup provided with the medicine for precise dosing. Do not utilize a kitchen teaspoon, as this will result in an inaccurate estimation of the medication amount.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Delcold Syrup?
Delcold Syrup might interact with other medications or substances. Consult your child's doctor about all other medicines they are currently taking before starting Delcold Syrup. Additionally, it is recommended to seek guidance from your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication to your child.
In what all conditions should I avoid giving Delcold Syrup to my child?
If your child has pre-existing cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, heart disease), diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal obstruction, increased intraocular pressure, urinary obstruction, or thyroid dysfunction, avoid administering Delcold Syrup. It is vital to disclose any medical history to your child's doctor before dispensing this medication.
My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two different cough and fever medicines together?
It's best not to administer more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless specifically instructed by the doctor. This is due to the possibility of combined effects from both medications, which may increase the risk of overdose and potentially lead to adverse consequences for your child. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to them.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never provide your child with medicines intended for adults. Children require specific formulations designed for their age group and physiology to ensure optimal safety and efficacy. Before use, carefully examine the medication label and administer the prescribed dosage as directed.
Can Delcold Syrup make my child sleepy?
Delcold Syrup may induce mild drowsiness, potentially leading to sleepiness in children. It is vital to avoid using this medication to induce sleep. Forcing sleep might mask underlying sleep disorders such as insomnia. Consulting your child's doctor for guidance on appropriate care is recommended.
How can I store Delcold Syrup?
Delcold Syrup should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Additionally, ensure all medicines are kept out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
