Ingredients: per 15ml (3 tsp)
WHEN TO USE
Runny nose, nasal congestion, chest congestion.
I only use a cold medication like this if my child’s
symptoms are interfering with sleep, eating or if they are
generally miserable with congestion. The antihistamine
and decongestant combination in this cold medication will
temporarily relieve most symptoms of the common cold.
It opens up nasal congestion and dries up nasal secretions.
It also helps reduce cough caused by secretions running down the throat.

Ibuprofen, Fever.
SAFETY/SIDE EFFECTS
It is safe to use in children six months old and above.
The sedative effects of the antihistamine usually overcome
the “revving-up” effects of the decongestant to produce
an overall “calming” effect, which will help your child sleep.
Occasionally, the antihistamine has the opposite effect, which
may lead to some missed sleep but is not dangerous.
Uncommon side effects are headache, upset stomach and dizziness.
If your child has a history of seizures, high blood pressure,
heart disease, thyroid disease or is taking medications
for any of these conditions, consult your doctor before
taking this medication. If your child has Croup, do not use this
medication because of its drying effect.
DOSING CHART
