Introduction
Rithmax 1mg/125mg/2.5mg Syrup is a combination medication used primarily in children to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold. It contains Chlorpheniramine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that helps relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever by blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain.

While generally safe, it is important to monitor for any side effects and consult a doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
