Jeskof Syrup Substitute

Jeskof Syrup contains Chlorpheniramine maleate, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine hydrochloride helps in shrinking the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough.

Consult your doctor before taking Jeskof Syrup if you need to undergo surgery as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sleepiness when given along with anaesthesia. Your doctor may advise you to stop taking Jeskof Syrup 72 hours prior to the surgery.

It is not recommended to take Jeskof Syrup along with any anti-depressant medication, especially MAO inhibitors (linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine), as it may lead to unpleasant side-effects or drug interaction. Also, Jeskof Syrup should be taken at least 14days after your last dose of anti-depressants.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to take Jeskof Syrup and skip the missed dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
