Windose Syrup

Windose Syrup is an over-the-counter traditional plant-based preparation supplied in a 100ml bottle, formulated with Andrographolide derived from Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata), providing 50mg per 5ml. Andrographis paniculata is a plant long used in traditional preparations across Asia, and this syrup is one such preparation registered for OTC sale in Malaysia.

As a traditional herbal preparation, it does not require a doctor’s prescription and is intended for adult use, with a healthcare professional’s advice recommended for children. It is presented as a liquid syrup rather than a tablet or capsule format.

Shake the bottle before use if separation is visible. Take by mouth using the measuring cup or spoon provided, with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Follow the schedule on the packaging rather than taking extra doses.

Adults: 2 teaspoonfuls (10ml) two to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Children: consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate dosage before use. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless close to the next scheduled dose.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use and keep out of reach and sight of children.
