Chlorpheniramine Maleate (1mg/5ml) + Paracetamol (25mg/5ml) + Phenylephrine (2.5mg/5ml)
Phenta Drop is commonly prescribed in children to treat common cold symptoms like sore throat, runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, body ache, and fever.
Oral Drops
Phenta Drop 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). Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Phenta Drop with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Phenta Drop and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
No common side effects listed.

Practice self-care tips: Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergy. Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and to loosen the mucus in the lungs. Restrain your child from having dairy products, coffee, and foods that are spicy and fried. All these can trigger coughing. Make your child gargle with warm saltwater. Ensure your child takes enough rest.
Prolonged or excess intake of Phenta Drop can potentially lead to serious side effects in children, such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive defects, and difficulty concentrating. Always adhere to the prescribed dose. To accurately measure the correct dosage, utilize the calibrated cup provided with the medicine by the manufacturer. Avoid using a kitchen teaspoon as it will not provide an accurate estimate.
Phenta Drop should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. It is crucial to keep all medications out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
It's not advisable to administer more than one cough or cold medication at a time unless recommended by the doctor. This is because both medications may contain similar ingredients, leading to potential overdose effects and serious health implications in children. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Never administer medicines designed for adults to your child. Children should only use medications specifically formulated for their age group to prevent potential adverse effects. Carefully review the drug label before administering any medication to your child and stick to the prescribed dose. It's best to consult a medical professional if symptoms persist or don't improve after treatment.
Phenta Drop may induce mild drowsiness in children, potentially leading to sleepiness. This medicine should not be used to induce sleep. It is important to avoid forced sleep as it could hide underlying sleep disorders like insomnia.
