Description
Paidoterin Syrup is a decongestant medication used to relieve symptoms associated with nasal congestion, such as those caused by allergic rhinitis. It combines three active ingredients:
– **Phenylephrine hydrochloride (5 mg per 5 ml):** A sympathomimetic agent that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.
– **Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (5 mg per 5 ml):** An antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors, alleviating symptoms like sneezing and runny nose.
– **Chlorpheniramine maleate (0.75 mg per 5 ml):** Another antihistamine that helps reduce allergy symptoms.
The syrup is typically administered orally, with dosing recommendations based on age:
– **Children aged 2 to 6 years:** 5 ml every 6 to 8 hours.
– **Children aged 6 to 12 years:** 10-15 ml every 6 to 8 hours.
– **Adults:** 15-20 ml every 6 to 8 hours.
It is advisable to take the syrup after meals. Each dose should not exceed twice the recommended amount.
