Overview

Sunward Sunthorphan 15mg/5ml Syrup is a syrup with Dextromethorphan 15mg per 5ml 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 each use and measure the dose accurately using the measuring cup or spoon provided, rather than an ordinary household spoon. Sunward Sunthorphan 15mg/5ml Syrup can be taken with or without food, and should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control the dry cough, generally not exceeding a few days without medical review.

Dosage

Dosing depends on age and body weight and should follow the instructions on the product label or a pharmacist’s advice. As a general guide for adults, a dose is typically taken every 6 to 8 hours as needed, up to a maximum daily amount stated on the packaging; children require a correspondingly lower, weight-based dose, and this product should not be given to very young children without specific pharmacist or doctor guidance. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose.

Shelf Life

Sunward Sunthorphan 15mg/5ml Syrup typically remains effective for around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened; always check the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton, and discard any syrup remaining after the in-use period stated on the label once opened.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly capped after each use. Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children, and do not store it in the refrigerator unless the label specifically states to do so.

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 the syrup
  • Use in a productive cough with excessive mucus or phlegm, without medical advice
  • Concurrent use with, or within 14 days of stopping, monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medications
  • Children under the age stated on the product label without pharmacist or doctor guidance
  • Chronic cough associated with asthma, smoking, or emphysema, unless directed by a doctor

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): risk of serious interaction; must not be combined
  • Other cough, cold, or allergy medicines containing dextromethorphan or sedating antihistamines: increased risk of drowsiness or accidental overdose
  • Alcohol and other central nervous system depressants (such as sedatives): additive drowsiness
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and certain other antidepressants: increased risk of serotonin-related side effects

Quick Tips

  • Use only for a dry, non-productive cough; see a doctor if the cough produces phlegm
  • Always measure the dose with the cup or spoon provided, not a kitchen spoon
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the syrup affects you, as it may cause drowsiness
  • Check other cold or flu products you are taking to avoid duplicating dextromethorphan or other active ingredients
  • See a doctor if the cough lasts more than 7 days, returns, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Dextromethorphan 15mg per 5ml (active ingredient)
  • Standard pharmaceutical syrup base excipients (such as sweeteners, flavouring, and preservatives) as listed on the product packaging
