About this item
Unlike a cough suppressant, which stops the urge to cough, Piriton Expectorant is designed for "wet" or "productive" coughs. It encourages the body to clear out the phlegm that has settled in the lungs and bronchial tubes. Simultaneously, it addresses the "head cold" symptoms like a runny nose and sneezing, providing an all-in-one solution for respiratory distress.
Dosage for Adults
- Adults and Children over 12 years: Usually 5ml to 10ml (1 to 2 teaspoonfuls) every 4 to 6 hours.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 4 doses (40ml) in a 24-hour period.
- Note: For children under 12, consult your pharmacist for the specific pediatric version of Piriton.
Proper Administration
- Measurement: Always use the measuring cup or spoon provided with the bottle. Do not use a regular kitchen spoon.
- Hydration: For the best results, drink plenty of water throughout the day. Expectorants work best when the body is well-hydrated, as water helps thin the mucus.
- Timing: Can be taken with or without food. If it causes mild stomach upset, take it after a meal.
How to Store and Dispose of Piriton Expectorant
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and protect it from direct sunlight.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired syrup to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Piriton Expectorant
- Steam Inhalation: Combine the use of this expectorant with steam inhalation to help open up the airways even faster.
- Avoid Suppressants: Do not take this medicine with a cough suppressant (like Dextromethorphan), as you want to encourage the coughing up of loosened mucus, not stop it.
- Warm Liquids: Drinking warm tea or broth can help soothe the throat while the medicine works on the chest.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications and Restrictions
- MAOIs: Do NOT use if you have taken a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (for depression) in the last 14 days.
- Severe Hypertension: Use with caution if you have very high blood pressure or heart disease.
- Chronic Bronchitis/Emphysema: Consult a doctor if you have a persistent cough associated with smoking or asthma.
Side Effects of Piriton Expectorant
- Common: Drowsiness, dry mouth, or mild dizziness.
- Less Common: Stomach upset, nausea, or blurred vision.
- Action: If you experience a rapid heartbeat, skin rash, or difficulty urinating, stop use and contact your doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drowsiness: This medication may cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol, as it increases the sedative effects of the antihistamine.
- Sugar Content: Many expectorants contain sugar; diabetics should consult their pharmacist before use.
- Pack Size: 100ml Bottle.
- Form: Oral Syrup.
- Active Ingredients: Guaifenesin, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Ammonium Chloride.
