Drowsiness
Dizziness
Upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting
Constipation

Excitability or nervousness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Maxtra-P Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting: Try giving Maxtra-P Syrup to your child with food or milk.
Constipation: Ensure your child stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Maxtra-P Syrup contains three active ingredients which work together to alleviate cold and allergy symptoms:

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (125 mg): This ingredient works as an analgesic and antipyretic. It reduces pain by inhibiting pain impulse generation in the body. Moreover, it helps lower fever by acting on the heat-regulating centre in the brain.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (5 mg): As a nasal decongestant, it stimulates α-receptors in the nasal mucosa, causing vasoconstriction. This action reduces blood flow, thereby relieving nasal congestion and helping to drain sinus secretions.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate (1 mg): This antihistamine competes with histamine for H1-receptor sites in the body. By blocking histamine binding sites, prevents allergy symptoms like itching and sneezing.
