About Phen-CPM Orange Syrup

Phen-CPM Orange Syrup is used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. Whereas, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

Phen-CPM Orange Syrup contains two medicines namely: Chlorpheniramine maleate (anti-histamine/anti-allergic) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergic symptoms. On the other hand, Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Together, Phen-CPM Orange Syrup effectively reduces allergic symptoms.

Phen-CPM Orange Syrup can be taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The duration of Phen-CPM Orange Syrup will depend upon your condition. The most common side effects of Phen-CPM Orange Syrup are drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth/nose/throat, upset stomach, constipation, or trouble sleeping. Most of these side effects of Phen-CPM Orange Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
