Overview
Sinu-C Suspension combines paracetamol (a pain reliever and fever reducer), pseudoephedrine (a decongestant), and chlorpheniramine (an antihistamine) in a single oral suspension used to relieve the combined symptoms of the common cold and flu, including fever, headache, body aches, nasal and sinus congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose.
Paracetamol relieves pain and reduces fever by acting on pain and temperature-regulating centres. Pseudoephedrine narrows blood vessels in the nasal passages to relieve congestion, while chlorpheniramine blocks histamine to reduce sneezing, itching, and a runny nose.
How it Works
Paracetamol is thought to reduce pain and fever by acting on pain pathways and the brain’s temperature-regulating centre. Pseudoephedrine stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal blood vessels, causing them to constrict and reducing swelling and congestion. Chlorpheniramine blocks histamine H1 receptors, reducing the sneezing, itching, and mucus production caused by allergic and cold-related inflammation.
Directions for Use
Shake well before use and measure the dose accurately using the provided oral syringe or measuring cup. Take with or without food; avoid taking the last dose of the day too close to bedtime, as the decongestant component may cause difficulty sleeping in some people.
Dosage
The dose depends on age and body weight and should follow the measuring device provided and your doctor’s or pharmacist’s advice, not exceeding the maximum daily dose. Do not use together with other paracetamol-containing products to avoid exceeding the safe daily limit.
