About Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml

Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of medications called 'expectorants' primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. 

Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml contains four medicines, namely: Ammonium chloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and Guaifenesin. Ammonium chloride and Guaifenesin work by irritating the airways which increases the production of respiratory tract fluids and decrease the stickiness of mucus that can be coughed out easily. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the urge to cough. Together, Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml helps to provide relief from cough.

Take Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry mouth, throat or nose, nausea, stomach upset, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, restlessness, or nervousness. Most of these side effects of Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml. Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. If you have high blood pressure, fits, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), chronic bronchitis, asthma, cough with mucus, cough caused by smoking, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), blockage in stomach or intestines, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), enlarged prostate, pheochromocytoma (tumor in the adrenal glands), kidney, liver, lung, heart or urinary problems, inform your doctor before taking Instaryl D Syrup 100 ml.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
