Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup

Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup is an oral liquid medicine from the Rexom range, formulated as an expectorant syrup with Ammonium Chloride as its active ingredient. It is sold in Malaysia as an over-the-counter (OTC) product, meaning it can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription. The syrup is presented as a ready-to-drink liquid in a shake-well bottle, designed for oral administration using the dosing instructions printed on the pack.

Each dose of the syrup delivers Ammonium Chloride, an expectorant-class ingredient commonly formulated into OTC cough syrups sold across Malaysia and the wider region. The product is manufactured as a single-ingredient formulation, without added antihistamines or decongestants, keeping its ingredient profile straightforward. It is presented as a clear liquid syrup meant to be taken after meals, and the bottle should be shaken before each use to ensure the contents are evenly mixed.

Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup is sold in a 100ml bottle, sized for a typical short course of use at home. The product is manufactured to Muslim-friendly (halal) standards, which some Malaysian and Singaporean households look for when choosing a household medicine cabinet staple. Dosing is differentiated by age band, with separate instructions for adults and children aged 6 to 12 years, and the product is not intended for children under 6 without medical advice.

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the syrup is evenly mixed. Use the measuring cup or spoon provided, or a standard household 5ml medicine spoon, to measure the correct dose rather than an ordinary kitchen spoon. Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup is generally taken after meals. Swallow the measured dose directly; do not dilute it in water or other beverages unless advised by a pharmacist. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses and wipe the bottle neck clean if any syrup drips during pouring.

The typical adult and child (12 years and above) dose is 10ml to 20ml, taken every 4 to 6 hours, up to a maximum of 120ml in 24 hours. For children aged 6 to 12 years, the typical dose is 5ml to 10ml every 4 to 6 hours. This product is not recommended for children under 6 years unless a doctor or pharmacist has advised otherwise. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the package, and do not take this syrup for longer than one week without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

Use before the expiry date printed on the packaging. Do not use Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup after the printed expiry date has passed, and discard any syrup that has changed in colour, clarity, or odour even if the expiry date has not been reached.

Store Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in a cool, dry place such as a medicine cabinet. Keep the bottle tightly capped when not in use, and keep it out of the reach and sight of children. Do not store the syrup in the bathroom or near a sink where humidity is high, and do not freeze the product.

• Known hypersensitivity (allergy) to Ammonium Chloride or any other ingredient in this syrup.
• Significant kidney disease or impaired kidney function, as Ammonium Chloride is processed through the kidneys.
• Children under 6 years of age, unless a doctor or pharmacist has specifically advised its use.
• Severe liver disease, unless a doctor has reviewed and approved its use.

• Ammonium Chloride may interact with medicines that alter urine acidity, such as certain antibiotics and stimulant medicines, changing how quickly those medicines are cleared from the body.
• Taking this syrup together with other cough, cold, or fever products that also contain Ammonium Chloride or similar expectorant ingredients may lead to duplicate dosing — check other medicine labels before combining products.
• Alcohol may increase drowsiness or stomach upset when combined with this syrup; limit or avoid alcohol while taking it.
• No specific food interactions are established, although taking the syrup after meals may reduce stomach discomfort.

• Always shake the bottle well before measuring a dose, as the ingredients can settle over time.
• Use a proper oral measuring spoon or the cup provided rather than an everyday kitchen spoon, to keep dosing accurate.
• Keep a simple log of when each dose was taken so you do not accidentally exceed the maximum daily amount.
• Store the bottle upright, tightly capped, in a cool, dry cupboard away from children’s reach.
• Check the expiry date before each use and discard the bottle once it has expired or once the liquid looks or smells different from normal.
• Bring the bottle or its box with you if you visit a doctor or pharmacist, so they can see the exact product and strength you have been taking.

Precautions: Use Rexom Unizet Expectorant Syrup only within the age bands and doses stated on the label. Take care if you have kidney or liver disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are already taking other cough, cold, or fever medicines, since duplicate ingredients are a common cause of accidental overdose. Avoid combining this syrup with alcohol, and use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the syrup affects you.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak with a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist beyond a week, if you notice signs of irritability, confusion, or unusually rapid breathing after taking this syrup, or if you experience a rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, which may indicate an allergic reaction. Seek urgent medical attention if a child or adult swallows more than the recommended dose.
