Anti CC Syrup

Prescription Required

Your child’s medicine at a glance

Anti CC Syrup is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms associated with the common cold and other respiratory tract conditions. These symptoms may include a runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body ache, and fever.

Give Anti CC Syrup to your child by mouth with or without food. Always remember that the dosing schedule provided by your child’s doctor depends on the type of symptoms your child has, so make sure to follow the prescribed dose, time, and way strictly.

Give Anti CC Syrup at a fixed time each day so that it gradually makes a place in your child’s daily routine, which will help you to remember. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine give the same dose again. However, never repeat the dose if it's already time for the next dose. Your child may start to feel better within a week of regular dosing. However, you must continue giving the medicine to your child to finish the complete prescribed course as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.

Some of the minor and temporary side effects that your child may experience while taking this medicine include dry mouth, blurring of vision, drowsiness, dizziness, and constipation.  Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any ongoing medicine regime or history of any allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

How Anti CC Syrup works

Anti CC Syrup is a mixture of two active medicines: Chlorpheniramine and Menthol which relieves common cold symptoms.
