Uses

Treatment of Cough

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Lupihist 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: Lupihist calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Lupihist 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: Lupihist 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: Lupihist 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: Lupihist 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: Lupihist 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 Constipation: Lupihist softens the stool or encourages the bowel to move, relieving constipation and the straining, bloating and discomfort that go with it.
In Bowel preparation: Lupihist empties the bowel completely before a colonoscopy or surgery, so the doctor has a clear view and the procedure is safe.

How it works

Lupihist Syrup is a combination of three medicines: diphenhydramine, ammonium chloride, and sodium citrate. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that relieves allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus (phlegm) and make it easier to remove from the airways. Sodium citrate helps thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.

Safety advice

AlcoholUNSAFE: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine.
PregnancyUNSAFE: Not recommended in pregnancy. It may harm the developing baby, so tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingUNSAFE: Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine.
KidneyUNSAFE: Not recommended if you have significant kidney disease.

Warnings & 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. Drink plenty of water while taking any laxative, particularly the fibre-based ones — without it they can make constipation worse. Do not use stimulant laxatives daily over long periods without medical advice; the bowel becomes reliant on them. See a doctor if constipation is new and persistent in an adult over forty, or comes with blood, weight loss or severe pain.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Lupihist 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 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. It can cause severe loose motions, dehydration and salt imbalance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Lupihist Syrup may cause dizziness or sleepiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Avoid alcohol or other sedating medicines while taking Lupihist Syrup, as they may increase drowsiness.
Use a proper measuring cup or spoon to measure the dose, not a household tablespoon.
Dry mouth or constipation may occur; staying hydrated and maintaining fiber intake may help.
Do not combine Lupihist Syrup with other cough or cold medicines containing antihistamines or sedatives unless advised by your doctor.
If you have diabetes, monitor your blood glucose levels while taking Lupihist Syrup.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of thyroid disease, heart disease, glaucoma, or urinary retention before using Lupihist Syrup.
Avoid smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, as it may worsen cough and throat irritation.
