About this item
Piriton Expectorant is a palatable liquid medication that targets the discomfort of a "wet" cough. Unlike simple cough suppressants, this expectorant formula works to make coughing more productive by thinning bronchial secretions, making it easier for the child to clear mucus from their airways. Simultaneously, the antihistamine component provides relief from allergic triggers and catarrh, helping your child breathe more comfortably and rest better.
Dosage of Piriton Expectorant Take as directed by the pharmacist or physician.
- Children 6 to 12 years: 5ml (one teaspoonful) up to 3 or 4 times daily.
- Children 2 to 6 years: 2.5ml (half a teaspoonful) up to 3 or 4 times daily.
- Children under 2 years: Not recommended except under strict medical advice.
Proper Administration
- Administration: Use a calibrated medicine spoon or syringe to ensure an accurate dose.
- Consistency: Space doses evenly throughout the day.
- Food Interaction: Can be taken with or without food. Taking it with water can further help thin the mucus.
- Missed Dose: Give the dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Never double the dose.
How to Store and Dispose of Piriton Expectorant
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return any unused or expired syrup to a local pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Piriton Expectorant
- Hydration is Key: Encourage your child to drink plenty of water while taking this medicine; fluids help the expectorant work better at thinning phlegm.
- Bedtime Use: Be aware that the antihistamine may cause mild drowsiness, which can help a child rest if a cough is keeping them awake at night.
- Not for Dry Coughs: This is for "wet" coughs. If your child has a dry, hacking cough without mucus, a different formula may be needed.
- Duration: If the cough persists for more than 5 days or is accompanied by a high fever, consult a pediatrician.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Piriton Expectorant
- Known Allergy: Do NOT use if the child is allergic to Chlorpheniramine, Ammonium Chloride, or any of the inactive ingredients.
- Specific Conditions: Avoid use in children with narrow-angle glaucoma or certain rare metabolic disorders.
- MAOIs: Do not give if the child has taken an antidepressant (MAOI) in the last 14 days.
Side Effects of Piriton Expectorant
- Common Side Effects: Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or mild blurred vision.
- Serious but Rare: Allergic reactions (rash/swelling), urinary retention, or excitability (especially in very young children).
- Action: If the child becomes unusually restless or develops a skin rash, stop use and contact your doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drowsiness: Warn older children to be careful if riding bicycles or engaging in activities requiring balance, as the medicine can cause "sleepiness."
- Liver/Kidney Health: Use with caution if the child has pre-existing liver or kidney issues.
- Other Medications: Do not use with other antihistamines or cold medicines unless advised by a professional.
- Pack Size: 100ml Bottle.
- Form: Oral Linctus (Syrup).
- Active Ingredients: Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Ammonium Chloride.
