About WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET

WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes and spreads quickly through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks.

WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET consists of Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Pseudoephedrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling and congestion or stiffness. On the other hand, Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. Works by narrowing small blood vessels in your nose. This helps mucus and air flow freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you breathe more easily. Altogether WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET relieves the symptoms from common cold symptoms.

WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET is available in the form of oral syrup and tablets. Take WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET with or without food as advised by your doctor with the help of a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend how often you take WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET based on your medical condition. Do not stop taking WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET on your own until the doctor advises you. Some people may experience dry mouth, throat or nose, drowsiness, constipation, dizziness, blurred vision, restlessness or excitation. Most of these side effects of WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you have glaucoma, urinary problems, enlarged prostate, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), cough with mucus or cough caused by asthma, smoking, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath). Avoid alcohol while taking WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET, since it can worsen the side effects like dizziness and sleepiness.
