CompositionNew Glycodin Syrup is used to treat symptoms of the common cold, including dry cough, sneezing, and a runny nose. it provides effective relief from throat irritation and watery eyes caused by seasonal allergies or hay fever. This medication helps clear the respiratory passages, making it easier to breathe and sleep comfortably during a viral infection.
This syrup contains a combination of Dextromethorphan and Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that acts on the brain to reduce the urge to cough, while Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine to stop allergic symptoms like itching and congestion. Together, they manage the most bothersome symptoms of upper respiratory tract irritation.
This medication should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, usually every 6 to 8 hours as needed. Because the antihistamine component may cause mild drowsiness, it is best to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Consult your healthcare provider if the cough persists for more than a week or is accompanied by a high fever.
