Overview

Xepa Antamin 4mg/5ml Syrup is a syrup with Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg per 5ml declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 60ml.

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, syringe, or spoon provided, rather than an ordinary household spoon. Xepa Antamin 4mg/5ml Syrup can be taken with or without food, and the dose should be based on the patient’s age as stated on the product label or advised by a pharmacist. Avoid driving or operating machinery after taking this syrup, as it can cause drowsiness.

Dosage

Adults and children aged 12 years and above usually take 5ml (4mg) every 4 to 6 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 6 doses in 24 hours. Children generally need a lower, age-based dose — for example, roughly half the adult dose for children around 6 to 11 years, and an even smaller pharmacist-guided dose for children aged 2 to 5 years — and this syrup is generally not recommended for infants under 2 years unless specifically directed by a doctor. Always confirm the exact paediatric dose against the product label or with a pharmacist before giving it to a child.

Shelf Life

Unopened, Xepa Antamin 4mg/5ml Syrup is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton when stored correctly; once opened, it is best used within the period stated on the label or leaflet, usually a matter of weeks to a few months, so check the packaging for specific guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the bottle tightly closed between uses, and do not refrigerate or freeze unless the label specifically says to. Keep this syrup out of the reach and sight of children.

Relevant Information

Xepa Antamin 4mg/5ml Syrup contains chlorpheniramine maleate, a long-established antihistamine commonly used in liquid form for children and adults who prefer not to take tablets. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, elderly patients, and those with asthma, glaucoma, prostate problems, or liver or kidney conditions should check with a pharmacist or doctor before use, and parents should always confirm the correct paediatric dose before giving it to a child. Severe allergic reactions with breathing difficulty, facial or throat swelling, or widespread hives require urgent medical attention rather than self-treatment with this syrup.
