Each 5 ml (one teaspoonful) contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5 mg.
For the symptomatic relief of Common cold.
Chlorpheniramine antagonizes competitively the effects of histamine on H1-receptors and also has weak antimuscarinic and moderate antiserotonin and local anaesthetic actions. Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic agent with mainly direct effects on adrenergic receptors. It has predominantly alpha adrenergic activity that causes vasoconstriction and relieves nasal congestion.

Children 6 to under 12 years of age: 1/2 teaspoonful (2.5 mL) every 4 to 6 hours, not to exceed 3 teaspoonfuls in 24 hours.
