Piriton Syrup Adult Triple Action x100ml

Piriton Syrup Adult Triple Action combines Chlorpheniramine Maleate (antihistamine), Ammonium Chloride (expectorant), and Sodium Citrate (mucolytic). This triple-action formula treats allergic symptoms while relieving cough and congestion in adults.

Uses

Piriton Syrup Adult Triple Action relieves symptoms of allergies, common cold, and upper respiratory infections. It’s effective for treating sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes (Catarrh), cough with mucus, chest congestion, and throat irritation. The medication works well for seasonal allergies with respiratory symptoms.

Benefits

• Relieves allergy symptoms including sneezing and itching
• Reduces nasal and sinus congestion
• Thins mucus secretions for easier clearance
• Soothes irritated throat and airways
• Suppresses dry, unproductive cough
• Helps expel phlegm from respiratory tract
• Provides multiple symptom relief in one medication
• Works for both allergic and infectious causes
• Offers nighttime symptom relief for better sleep

How It Works

Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks histamine receptors, reducing allergic responses and drying secretions. Ammonium Chloride acts as an expectorant, increasing respiratory tract fluid to thin mucus. Sodium Citrate alkalinizes bronchial secretions, making them less viscous and easier to cough up, improving airway clearance.

Dosage

Take with or without food. Measuring cup provided for accurate dosing. Best taken after meals to reduce stomach irritation.

Duration of Action

Effects begin within 30 minutes after administration. Antihistamine effects typically last 4-6 hours, while the expectorant and mucolytic actions continue for 3-4 hours. Multiple daily doses maintain consistent symptom relief. Allow 3-5 days of regular use for optimal mucus-clearing benefits.

Side Effects

Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and mild dizziness. Less common effects include blurred vision, urinary retention, and constipation. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Drowsiness may be more pronounced in elderly patients or when taken with other sedating medications.

Warning

May cause drowsiness affecting ability to drive or operate machinery. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication. Not recommended for patients with severe hypertension, heart disease, or glaucoma. Discontinue and seek medical attention if experiencing palpitations, severe dizziness, or confusion.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed and potential benefits outweigh risks. Chlorpheniramine passes into breast milk and may affect nursing infants. Consult healthcare provider before using during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Interaction

• May increase sedative effects when taken with alcohol or CNS depressants
• Possible increased anticholinergic effects with certain antidepressants
• May reduce effectiveness of some antihypertensive medications
• Could interact with MAO inhibitors causing dangerous blood pressure elevation
• Potential interaction with medications metabolized by liver enzymes

Precaution

Use with caution in patients with asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, diabetes, thyroid disorders, enlarged prostate, or liver impairment. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to side effects. Ensure adequate hydration while taking this medication to support mucus thinning effects. Discontinue use if symptoms worsen or persist beyond 7 days.
