Introduction
Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body ache, and fever. These symptoms are usually associated with common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and other respiratory tract conditions.
Directions for Use
Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
How it works
Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol, and Sodium Citrate. Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. 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 an antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out.
Quick Tips
Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Ensure your child takes extra care when taking part in physical activities. Never combine Yuvikuff-Cold Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may lead to side effects. Stop Yuvikuff-Cold 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 as it helps to thin and loosen the mucus accumulated in the lungs. Restrain your child from having caffeinated products 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.
