About Zedex P Cough Syrup

Zedex P Cough Syrup is used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as “rhinoviruses”. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks. Allergies are caused due to the 'allergens' that cause 'histamine' to release in the blood, thereby causing a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching nose/throat, etc. 

Zedex P Cough Syrup is a combination medicine that contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Sodium citrate, and menthol. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Menthol relieves minor irritation in the throat and provides a cooling sensation.

Give Zedex P Cough Syrup to your child as advised by the doctor. Sometimes, Zedex P Cough Syrup may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, nervousness, mild headache, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep), blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects of Zedex P Cough Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

If your child is allergic to Zedex P Cough Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. For children below two years of age, please consult a doctor. Please do not give more than the prescribed dose of Zedex P Cough Syrup, as it may cause liver damage and severe adverse effects. If your child has chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), blockage in the stomach or intestines, pheochromocytoma (tumour in the adrenal glands), kidney, liver, heart or urinary problems, inform your doctor before using Zedex P Cough Syrup.

Medicinal Benefits

Zedex P Cough Syrup contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Sodium citrate, and menthol used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thus, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thus, helps to cough out easily. Menthol is a cooling agent that relieves minor irritation in the throat and provides a cooling sensation. Together Zedex P Cough Syrup helps relieve symptoms of a common cold like headache, fever, and allergies like stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching nose/throat, etc.

Side effects of Zedex P Cough Syrup 60 ml
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Get urgent medical help if you notice abnormal lung sounds with symptoms, like bluish skin, flare-ups of your nostrils, or trouble breathing.
  • If you have asthma or allergies, managing these conditions with inhalers and bronchodilators can help prevent abnormal lung sounds.
  • Infections may need antibiotics or breathing therapy to help open your airways and make breathing easier.
  • Wash your hands regularly and take other steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.
  • Doing breathing exercises can help improve your lung function and make breathing easier.
  • Contact your physician right away if you suffer from hypoxia symptoms including chest pain, disorientation, or shortness of breath.
  • Your doctor can monitor your progress and modify treatment programs with the help of routine follow-up sessions.
  • Omega-3 supplements may support the transport of oxygen to tissues.
  • Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health and boosts oxygen delivery to tissues.
  • Quit smoking, as it can worsen hypoxia.
