Lupihist Syrup is commonly used to manage symptoms associated with coughs, common colds, upper respiratory tract infections, and allergies. This combination medicine falls under the category of antitussives and expectorants.

Apart from managing coughs, this syrup also helps in relieving chest congestion and an itchy throat. Its active ingredients work collectively to thin and loosen mucus, suppress the cough reflex, and soothe throat irritation.

Before starting this medicine, ensure you consult your doctor, who can guide you on the dosage and frequency specific to your condition. Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, immediately notify your doctor.

You might experience some side effects while taking Lupihist Syrup. These typically include:

Sedation: This means you may feel unusually sleepy or drowsy.
Dizziness
Dry mouth, nose, and throat
Thickening of bronchial secretions: The mucus in your airways might become denser than usual.
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea or constipation
Urinary retention
Palpitations: You may feel like your heart is beating rapidly or irregularly.
Hypotension: This means your blood pressure could drop lower than normal.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Lupihist Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips to deal with two common side effects:

Dry mouth, nose, and throat: Try to sip water frequently and keep yourself hydrated.
Nausea and vomiting: Take Lupihist Syrup with food to minimise these effects.

Lupihist Syrup consists of three primary components:

Diphenhydramine (15 mg): Diphenhydramine is a first-generation antihistamine that competitively antagonises histamine H1 receptors. This action suppresses the histamine-mediated cough reflex and reduces secretions in the airways.
Ammonium Chloride (150 mg): This component works as an expectorant by irritating the mucus membranes, which leads them to secrete more liquid. This action thins the mucus, making it easier to cough up. Ammonium chloride also has a mild diuretic effect.
Sodium Citrate (85 mg): Sodium citrate is a saline expectorant that provides relief by reducing the viscosity of mucus secretions and promoting oral mucosal hydration. It exhibits soothing properties that help relieve throat irritation.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Lupihist Syrup if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Lupihist Syrup's key ingredients, diphenhydramine and ammonium chloride, are known to be secreted in breast milk. Weigh the importance of the medicine against potential risks to your nursing infant, consulting with your doctor about the best course of action.

Alcohol

The ingredients of Lupihist Syrup can enhance the effects of alcohol, leading to increased drowsiness. Be cautious and consult with your doctor about consuming alcohol while on this medication.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, it's prudent to discuss them with your doctor before starting Lupihist Syrup. The effects this medicine may have on liver function are not fully understood.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, exercise caution before using Lupihist Syrup. Consulting your doctor prior to starting this medicine is a good idea.

Using Machines & Driving

Diphenhydramine, an ingredient in Lupihist Syrup, may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

Avoid using Lupihist Syrup if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you have known hypersensitivities, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Children

Lupihist Syrup should be given to children under 6 years only under a physician's direction and used with caution in children above 6 years due to the risk of excitability.

Older Patients

Elderly patients should take Lupihist Syrup under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if you are over 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Lupihist Syrup interacts with the following medicines:

Central Nervous System Depressants: Medicines such as diazepam and lorazepam may interact with Lupihist Syrup, leading to increased drowsiness.
Anticholinergic Drugs: When taken together with Lupihist Syrup, drugs like atropine and tricyclic antidepressants can intensify the anticholinergic effects, causing symptoms like dry mouth and constipation.

Daily Dose

You should take the daily dose of Lupihist Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. This dosage can vary based on individual factors such as the severity of your symptoms and your response to the medication. Never exceed the prescribed dosage without first consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the recommended dose of Lupihist Syrup, you might experience common symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Lupihist Syrup, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your usual dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses without consulting your doctor.

Store Lupihist Syrup in a cool place, ideally below 30 °C.
Keep the bottle tightly sealed to prevent unnecessary exposure to air.
Do not store the syrup in direct sunlight, as light can degrade the medicine.
Always keep Lupihist Syrup out of reach and sight of children.
Make sure to use the syrup before the expiry date mentioned on the bottle.

To manage a cough and respiratory infection, maintain good hydration. Drinking warm liquids like herbal tea or hot water can soothe the throat and keep your body hydrated.
