Zedex-P Cold Syrup 60 ml

Zedex-P Cold Syrup is used to treat cough. The detailed uses of Zedex-P Cold Syrup are as follows:

• Cough and cold symptoms: Zedex-P Cold Syrup treats dry and wet cough, clears mucus, and improves breathing comfort.
• Mucus clearance: Zedex-P Cold Syrup thins and loosens thick mucus, making it easier to expel from the airways.
• Nasal congestion: Zedex-P Cold Syrup relieves blocked nose by reducing swelling in the nasal passages.
• Relief from respiratory tract infections: Zedex-P Cold Syrup helps clear mucus in conditions like bronchitis.

Zedex-P Cold Syrup belongs to a class of medication called 'expectorants,' containing four medicines, namely: Bromhexine (mucolytic), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Menthol (Coolant). Bromhexine makes sputum less viscous and makes it easier to cough out. Dextromethorphan relieves cough by reducing cough receptor activity, thereby affecting signals in the brain that trigger the cough reflex. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nostrils and the passage and reduces stuffy nose. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

• Take Zedex-P Cold Syrup with food or as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Take the prescribed dose by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.

• Take the medication as directed by the doctor and at regular intervals. Do not use other over the counter medications, herbal or vitamin supplements without informing your pharmacist or doctor when you take Zedex-P Cold Syrup.
• Know your triggers like allergens, such as pollen, dust, and food items that make your asthma and other respiratory diseases severe.
• Quit smoking and avoid passive smoking. Smoking also reduces the effectiveness of the medicine.
• Drink extra fluids while you take Zedex-P Cold Syrup to help loosen congestion and lubricate the throat.
• Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.
• Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.

Zedex-P Cold Syrup should be used with caution in patients with heart, liver, kidney diseases, depression, and Parkinson's disease. Anti-tussive agents like Dextromethorphan can cause withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, anxiety, feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), increased blood pressure, feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, shaking, shivering or sweating. If you feel like you need to take the Dextromethorphan containing Zedex-P Cold Syrup though you feel well, it can be a symptom of addiction to Zedex-P Cold Syrup. Please consult your doctor if you notice any addiction symptoms. Zedex-P Cold Syrup is not recommended for stomach ulcer use since mucolytics like Bromohexine may disrupt the gastric mucosal barrier; therefore cautiously administered in patients with a stomach ulcer. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Zedex-P Cold Syrup as it could lead to increased drowsiness or dizziness. Drive only if you are alert since Zedex-P Cold Syrup may cause sleepiness/shakiness/increased heart rate in some people.
