Overview

Pharmaniaga Dextromethorphan Compound Syrup is a syrup with Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, combined with additional cold-relief ingredients at the strengths stated on the product label declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 120ml.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Shake the bottle well before use and measure each dose with the measuring cup or spoon provided rather than a regular household spoon. Take the syrup by mouth at the intervals stated on the product label, and do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose or duration of use. Because this is a combination product, check the label carefully and avoid taking any other cough, cold, or flu remedy at the same time unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist, to avoid duplicating any of its ingredients.

Dosage

Follow the age-based dosing instructions printed on the product label, or as advised by a doctor or pharmacist, taken at the stated interval and never exceeding the maximum daily amount specified. This syrup is intended for short-term use only, generally no more than about 7 days; if symptoms persist beyond this, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, stop self-treatment and see a doctor. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered, but do not double the next dose.

Storage Instructions

Store Pharmaniaga Dextromethorphan Compound Syrup below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

  • Drowsiness or dizziness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Mild confusion (especially at high doses)
  • Dry mouth

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to dextromethorphan or any other ingredient in this compound syrup.
  • Current use of, or use within the past 14 days of, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).
  • Chronic or productive cough associated with excessive phlegm, such as in chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or smoking-related cough, unless advised by a doctor.
  • Children under the age stated on the product label.
  • Use together with another product containing the same or a similar active ingredient, due to the risk of duplicate dosing.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Should not be combined with MAOIs due to the risk of a serious reaction involving high body temperature, agitation, and rapidly changing blood pressure.
  • May increase drowsiness when taken with alcohol, sedatives, or other medicines that cause sleepiness.
  • Certain antidepressants (SSRIs) may increase the risk of serotonin-related side effects when combined with dextromethorphan.
  • Do not combine with other multi-symptom cough, cold, or flu products, as this can lead to taking more than one active ingredient twice over.

Quick Tips

  • Check the full ingredient list on the carton before use, especially if you take other medicines.
  • Always measure doses with the provided cup or spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this syrup affects you.
  • Do not combine with other cold, flu, or cough products to avoid duplicate ingredient dosing.
  • Rest and stay well hydrated to support recovery from the underlying cold.
  • See a doctor if symptoms last more than about a week or are accompanied by high fever or breathlessness.

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Active ingredient: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, combined with additional cold-relief ingredients at the strengths stated on the product label.
  • Formulated as a multi-symptom oral syrup for dry cough occurring alongside other cold symptoms.
  • Manufactured by Pharmaniaga Berhad.
  • Please check the exact companion ingredients and their strengths on the package insert, as compound formulas can differ between markets and pack variants.
