Uses of Zedex Cough Syrup
- Allergic rhinitis
- Hives
- Skin allergy
- Itching
- Allergic asthma
- Cough
- Chest congestion
- Common cold symptoms
Benefits of Zedex Cough Syrup
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Zedex Cough 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
- Zedex Cough calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Zedex Cough 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
- Zedex Cough 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.
- In Cough
- Zedex Cough 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
- Zedex Cough 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
- Zedex Cough 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.
How Zedex Cough Syrup works
This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine and Dextromethorphan. Chlorpheniramine blocks the chemical messengers your body releases during an allergic reaction, which relieves sneezing, a running nose, watering eyes and itching. Dextromethorphan loosens and thins the mucus in your airways so a cough clears it more easily, and eases the tightness that comes with congestion.
How to take Zedex Cough Syrup
Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with or without food, often in the evening. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
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
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. It can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Zedex Cough Syrup
Most side effects of Zedex Cough are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Tiredness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach upset
- Tremor
- Fast heartbeat
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.

Warnings and precautions
Older antihistamines cause marked drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this affects you. Tell your doctor promptly about any change in mood, sleep, agitation or unusual thoughts while taking montelukast; this is uncommon but recognised. This relieves the symptoms of an allergy; it does not treat the cause, and it is not a treatment for an acute asthma attack. Seek emergency care for swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing. See a doctor if a cough lasts more than a week, or comes with fever, breathlessness, chest pain or blood in the sputum. Do not give cough and cold preparations to young children except on a doctor's advice. Do not combine two cough preparations — they frequently contain the same ingredients, and the doses add up. Preparations containing codeine can cause dependence and must be used only for the period your doctor specifies.
Do not take Zedex Cough if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. The sedating antihistamines are not suitable for very young children, or for people with glaucoma or an enlarged prostate, without medical advice. Codeine-containing preparations are not for children, or for anyone with breathing difficulty.
Interactions with other medicines
Alcohol, sleeping tablets and other sedating medicines add to the drowsiness. Tell your doctor about all cold and cough preparations — many already contain an antihistamine. Sedating ingredients add to the effect of alcohol and sleeping tablets. Decongestants such as phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine can raise blood pressure — tell your doctor if you are hypertensive.
How to store Zedex Cough Syrup
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, use it within the period printed on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.
