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:
- 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.
- 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.
