Uses of Zyrcold Dc Syrup

How Zyrcold Dc Syrup works

Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that constricts swollen nasal blood vessels to relieve blockage. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes.

How to take Zyrcold Dc Syrup

Oral syrup; take as prescribed by a doctor. Measure with a dosing cup/spoon; usually taken 2–3 times daily. Can be taken with or without food; take after food if stomach upset occurs. Do not exceed recommended dose and avoid use for more than a few days unless advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

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.

Expert advice for Zyrcold Dc Syrup

Take Zyrcold DC Syrup only for the duration advised by your doctor, usually until symptoms improve. Drink plenty of fluids to soothe throat irritation and help relieve symptoms, but Zyrcold DC Syrup should not be used for cough with mucus. Zyrcold DC Syrup may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Avoid alcohol or other sedative medicines while taking Zyrcold DC Syrup, as they may increase sleepiness. Dry mouth may occur; staying hydrated and including fiber in your diet may help. Avoid combining Zyrcold DC Syrup with other cough or cold medicines unless advised by your doctor. Use with caution if you have high blood pressure or heart disease. Stop and consult your doctor if you experience palpitations or severe headache. Stop taking Zyrcold DC Syrup and seek medical help if you develop rash, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing. Consult your doctor if cough lasts more than one week, keeps recurring, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache. Do not take Zyrcold DC Syrup with antidepressants or similar medicines without consulting your doctor, as it may cause serious side effects.
