About Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml

Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat dry cough associated with a common cold or upper respiratory allergies. 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: 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. 

Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml is a combination of two drugs: Codeine (cough suppressant) and Triprolidine(antihistamine). Codeine belongs to the class of cough suppressants that blocks the μ-opioid receptor in the brain that produces cough, thereby decreasing the urge to cough. Triprolidine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. 

Take Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml as prescribed by your doctor. Take Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain side effects, including drowsiness, dry mouth, vomiting, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, or tiredness. Most of these side effects of Phensedyl T 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.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml or any other medicines. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml to loosen mucus and protect yourself from being dehydrated or overheated during exercise. In hot weather, as Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml contains Triprolidine, it decreases sweating and increases heatstroke risk. Do not take Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it may cause adverse effects on the baby. Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. Do not take Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml if you have taken an MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline, and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days, as it may cause life-threatening drug interaction. Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml is a habit-forming drug, and hence there is a risk of dependence on Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml. So, before stopping Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml, contact a doctor as it may cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, tremors, or general unwell feelings.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is the 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 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, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
