How it works
Korizyl 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.
Quick Tips
Never combine Korizyl Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Korizyl 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 dairy products, coffee, and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.
