Frequently asked questions
What is Dexamol Syrup?
Dexamol Syrup contains a blend of three medications: chlorpheniramine, paracetamol/acetaminophen, and phenylephrine. This combination is designed to relieve cold symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, fever, and headache. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that relieves allergy-related symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant by narrowing small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
Is Dexamol Syrup safe to use?
Dexamol Syrup is generally safe for most patients. However, some individuals may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions, drowsiness, headache, and other rare or less frequent side effects.
