Introduction

Flucoril Syrup contains three active medicines which together effectively treat symptoms such as dry cough (cough with no mucus), runny nose, fever, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. These symptoms are usually caused by the common cold and other respiratory conditions in children.

Never self-medicate at home. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Flucoril Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, and Paracetamol. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. 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 antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that transmit pain signals and induce fever.

Never self-medicate at home. Always consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child. Flucoril Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Flucoril Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Flucoril Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergy, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.
