Overview
Zontron Coredin Paediatric Linctus Syrup contains diphenhydramine hydrochloride together with ammonium chloride, a combination antihistamine and expectorant cough syrup formulated for children to relieve coughs associated with colds, including dry, irritating cough and cough with mucus.
Diphenhydramine is a sedating antihistamine that also has cough-suppressant activity, while ammonium chloride acts as an expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways; together they relieve both dry and productive cough symptoms.
How it Works
Diphenhydramine blocks histamine H1 receptors, which suppresses the cough reflex and reduces allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose, while ammonium chloride irritates the stomach lining in a way that reflexively increases watery secretions in the airways, helping to thin and loosen mucus so it can be cleared more easily by coughing.
Directions for Use
Shake the bottle well before use, measure the dose accurately using the provided measuring cup or spoon, and give at the intervals directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not use household spoons to measure the dose.
Dosage
The dose is based on the child’s age and body weight, using the measuring device provided with the syrup, and should be determined by the treating doctor or pharmacist rather than estimated – do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
