🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a first-generation antihistamine that competitively blocks histamine H1 receptors, reducing allergic responses such as vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and sensory nerve stimulation. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) acts primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing fever and pain. The exact mechanism of paracetamol is not fully established but is thought to involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, in the brain.
Mechanism Steps
💡 How to Take nosier syrup
Strength: Each 5 mL of syrup contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2.5 mg and Paracetamol 125 mg.
Dosage Information
| Adult Dosage | The usual adult dose of this medicine is 10 mL (2 teaspoons) every 4 to 6 hours as needed for symptoms, not to exceed 6 doses in 24 hours. However, dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Use the measuring cup provided with the syrup for accurate dosing. |
| Pediatric Dosage | Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician for appropriate dosing based on the child's age and weight. Do not use in children under 2 years of age without medical advice. |
| Elderly Dosage | Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the side effects of chlorpheniramine, especially drowsiness, dizziness, and anticholinergic effects. Use with caution and consider lower doses. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician. |
| Renal Impairment | In patients with renal impairment, dose adjustment may be necessary. Chlorpheniramine is excreted renally, and paracetamol metabolites may accumulate. Consult a doctor for appropriate dosing. |
| Hepatic Impairment | In patients with hepatic impairment, paracetamol should be used with caution and at reduced doses due to increased risk of hepatotoxicity. Chlorpheniramine metabolism may be affected. Consult a doctor for appropriate dosing. |
| Maximum Daily Dose | For adults, the maximum daily dose of paracetamol should not exceed 4000 mg (which corresponds to 160 mL of this syrup) from all sources. Chlorpheniramine maximum daily dose should not exceed 24 mg (which corresponds to 48 mL of this syrup). However, the recommended maximum for this syrup is 60 mL per day (6 doses of 10 mL). Do not exceed the prescribed dose. |
