Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml

Question 1

How does Delcon Syrup work?

Accepted Answer

Delcon Syrup is composed of three medicines, namely: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (decongestant), and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic). Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing a stuffy nose. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins', which are responsible for pain and fever.

Question 2

In which condition should I avoid taking Delcon Syrup?

Accepted Answer

Do not use Delcon Syrup if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, like isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, or tranylcypromine. Tell your doctor before taking Delcon Syrup if you have nausea, stomach pain, itchy skin, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-coloured stools, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes). In rare cases, paracetamol present in Delcon Syrup may cause a severe skin allergic reaction. So, if you observe any skin blisters or redness, or rash, immediately contact your doctor and stop taking Delcon Syrup.

Question 3

Is there any food to be avoided while taking Delcon Syrup?

Accepted Answer

Delcon Syrup avoid taking medicines or food containing caffeine like cold drinks, coffee, chocolate, and tea. Also, avoid consumption of alcohol while taking Delcon Syrup as it might increase drowsiness.

Question 4

Question Can I stop taking Delcon Syrup on my own?

Accepted Answer

You are not recommended to stop taking Delcon Syrup without consulting your doctor as it may worsen or cause a recurring cough. Therefore, take Delcon Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while taking Delcon Syrup, please consult your doctor.

Question 5
