Chembro C Syrup

Chembro C Syrup is used to treat bronchitis, cough, and allergy. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens’. Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. While others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander. One of the symptoms of allergy is cough. Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when mucus or any other foreign irritant is in it.

Cetirizine belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamines or anti-allergics. It blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine’, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. It helps relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making coughing easier.

Chembro C Syrup is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as the doctor advises. Your dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Sometimes, you may experience tiredness, sleepiness, dry mouth, etc. Most of these side effects of Chembro C Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor. 

Consume only if the doctor prescribes it. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. Inform your doctor before taking Chembro C Syrup if you are allergic to cetirizine or ambroxol, have severe liver or kidney problems, or have epilepsy. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.

When you take Cetirizine in Chembro C Syrup, it temporarily relieves allergic reactions and symptoms by blocking histamine action (a substance that causes immune responses and inflammations in the body). It helps to relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol also has a mucolytic action, which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
