How it works
Emucold 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 making it easier to cough out.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Emucold Syrup by mistake?
Prolonged or excess intake of Emucold Syrup can pose a risk to your child's health, potentially leading to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairment, and difficulty concentrating. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage. To ensure accurate dosing, use the calibrated measuring cup provided with the medication by the manufacturer. Avoid using a kitchen teaspoon as it can lead to an inaccurate dose estimation.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Emucold Syrup?
Emucold Syrup may interact with certain medications or substances. Consult your child's doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Emucold Syrup. Furthermore, it is crucial to seek guidance from a healthcare professional regarding giving any medication to your child.
In what all conditions should I avoid giving Emucold Syrup to my child?
If your child has underlying cardiovascular diseases (e.g., hypertension, heart disease), diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal obstruction, elevated intraocular pressure, urinary obstruction, or thyroid dysfunction, avoid administering Emucold Syrup.

My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two different cough and fever medicines together?
