Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Alex Drops. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Alex Drops
Alex Drops contains Phenylephrine (5mg/5ml) + Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg/5ml) + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml). It belongs to the Antitussive/Expectorant/Antihistamine combination (varies by formulation) class of medicines.
Uses of Alex Drops
- Symptomatic relief of cough (dry or productive) associated with common cold
- Upper respiratory tract irritation
Benefits of Alex Drops
- In Cough
- Alex either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
- In Chest congestion
- Alex thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
- In Common cold symptoms
- Alex relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Alex blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
- In Hives and skin allergy
- Alex calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Alex relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
- In Allergic asthma
- Alex reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
How Alex Drops works
Depends on the active ingredients in the formulation. Cough medicines typically act by reducing cough reflex (antitussives), thinning mucus (mucolytics), helping expel phlegm (expectorants) and/or relieving allergy-related irritation (antihistamines).
How to take Alex Drops
Use as directed by a physician. Measure the dose with the provided dropper; may be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the recommended dose or use for prolonged periods without medical advice.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Alex Syrup, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. It can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Alex Drops
Most side effects of Alex are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Drowsiness
- dizziness
- nausea
- vomiting
- stomach upset
- dry mouth
- headache
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
