Sinarest Drops (15 ml)

Description

Sinarest Drops (15 ml) is a medication commonly used to relieve symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and other symptoms caused by the common cold or allergies. It contains a combination of active ingredients to help reduce congestion and alleviate allergy symptoms.

Composition:

The typical composition of Sinarest Drops (15 ml) includes:

1. Phenylephrine (5 mg/ml): A decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This reduces swelling and congestion, making it easier to breathe through the nose.
2. Chlorpheniramine (2 mg/ml): An antihistamine that helps block the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

Uses:

Sinarest Drops are primarily used to provide relief from:

• Nasal congestion: Due to the common cold, flu, or sinusitis.
• Allergic rhinitis: Relieving symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itching caused by allergens such as dust, pollen, or animal dander.

Dosage:

The dosage of Sinarest Drops depends on the age of the patient. Here is a general guideline (always follow the doctor’s or packaging instructions):

• For infants and children under 6 years: A doctor should specify the exact dosage based on the child’s condition.
• For children over 6 years: The dosage may be a few drops (as recommended) every 4-6 hours.

Side Effects:

Possible side effects of Sinarest Drops include:

• Drowsiness or dizziness (due to chlorpheniramine, the antihistamine).
• Dry mouth, throat, or nose.
• Upset stomach or nausea.
• Increased heart rate or elevated blood pressure (due to phenylephrine, the decongestant).

Precautions:

• Consult a doctor before using Sinarest Drops, particularly in children under 6 years, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, or thyroid problems.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose as overdosing can lead to side effects such as increased heart rate, dizziness, or excessive sedation.
• Avoid combining with other antihistamines or decongestants without medical advice, as this could lead to harmful interactions.
