How It Works

Rophegan Syrup works by blocking histamine H1 receptors in the body, reducing allergic responses. It also affects the brain’s chemoreceptor trigger zone, which helps prevent nausea and vomiting. The sedative effects are due to its action on the central nervous system.

Dosage

The dosage of Rophegan Syrup varies depending on the condition being treated, the patient’s age, and individual response to the medication. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Generally, it’s taken orally, with or without food, and dosing may range from one to four times daily as prescribed.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, or constipation. Most side effects are mild and often subside as the body adjusts to the medication. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

Warning

Rophegan Syrup may cause severe drowsiness and should not be taken before driving or operating machinery. It should be used with caution in elderly patients due to increased risk of side effects. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication as it can intensify drowsiness. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction or unusual changes in behavior.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant women should use Rophegan Syrup only if clearly needed and under medical supervision. It’s not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy due to potential risks to the newborn. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication, as it can pass into breast milk.
