Piriton Expectorant is a dual-action cough and allergy syrup. It combines a trusted antihistamine with a powerful expectorant to address "wet" coughs that are triggered or worsened by allergies, hay fever, or the common cold. While standard Piriton only stops allergies, the Expectorant version is specifically formulated to help clear the lungs of mucus.
This product is primarily indicated for the relief of productive coughs and allergic symptoms. It is used to:
Clear Phlegm: Helps loosen and thin thick mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up.
Relieve Chest Congestion: Eases the "heavy" feeling in the chest associated with bronchial irritation.
Stop Allergic Reactions: Reduces sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes.
Soothe Throat Irritation: Calms the redness and itchiness in the throat caused by post-nasal drip.
Adults and Children (over 12 years): 5ml to 10ml taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (6 to 12 years): 5ml (one teaspoon) taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (under 6 years): Consult a pediatrician or our pharmacist before use.
Note: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Use the measuring cup provided for accuracy.
Piriton Expectorant uses two main active mechanisms:
Chlorphenamine Maleate: A classic antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, effectively drying up a runny nose and stopping the allergic triggers of a cough.
Ammonium Chloride: An expectorant that increases the fluid in the respiratory tract to "wash out" and thin the stubborn mucus.
To ensure the medication is most effective:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water while taking this syrup; fluids help the expectorant work better at thinning out phlegm.
Shake Well: Ensure the bottle is shaken before each dose to mix the ingredients properly.
Safety: Because this medication can cause significant drowsiness, it is often very effective when taken before bed to help the patient rest while the chest clears.
Indicated For: Individuals with a "chesty" cough accompanied by allergy symptoms like a cold or hay fever.
Precautions: This medication is known to cause drowsiness. Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or drinking alcohol while using this syrup.
Medical Consultation: Consult our pharmacist if you have glaucoma, epilepsy, or an enlarged prostate, as the antihistamine component can affect these conditions.
Q: Is this the same as regular Piriton tablets?
A: No. Regular Piriton only contains an antihistamine. Piriton Expectorant contains both an antihistamine and a medicine to help you cough up phlegm.
Q: Can I take this for a dry, tickly cough?
A: It is generally better for "wet" coughs. If your cough is strictly dry and hacking with no mucus, a suppressant like Greenlin Dry Cough might be more appropriate.
Q: Can I give this to my child at night?
A: Yes, it is often helpful at night to reduce allergic coughing and help the child sleep, but ensure you follow the age-appropriate dosage strictly.
