How it works
Flucret Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine which relieves common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I accidentally give my child too much Flucret Syrup?
Giving your child more than the recommended dose of Flucret Syrup can lead to serious side effects, including seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive defects, and difficulty concentrating. To ensure accuracy, use the calibrated cup provided with the medication. Do not rely on a kitchen teaspoon as it may not provide the correct measurement.
How should I store Flucret Syrup?
Flucret Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can I give my child two different cough or cold medicines simultaneously?
Unless advised by your child's doctor, it is not recommended to give them more than one cough or cold medicine at a time. This can lead to an overdose due to potential duplication of ingredients in the medications. Always consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I use my adult cough medicine on my child?
Never administer medicines intended for adults to children, as this may cause unwanted side effects. Ensure you are using a formulation specifically designed for children and follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully. If symptoms persist or worsen after treatment, consult your child's doctor.
Can Flucret Syrup make my child feel sleepy?
Flucret Syrup may induce mild drowsiness in some children, so use caution when administering it. Forced sleep can mask underlying sleep disorders like insomnia. Consult with your child's doctor before giving this medication to them.
