Understanding the Components and Concerns
- T-minic syrup contains phenylephrine (a decongestant) and chlorpheniramine (an antihistamine).
- Caution is advised in asthmatic patients due to potential bronchospasm from decongestants.
Safer Alternatives for Asthmatic Patients
- Consider antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine, which have a lower risk of affecting asthma.
- Avoid decongestants like phenylephrine.
Non-Medication Supportive Measures
- Encourage hydration, steam inhalation, and adequate rest.
Importance of Medical Consultation
- Consult a healthcare provider before starting any substitute medication.
- Monitor asthma symptoms closely during respiratory infections.
India-Approved Medication Options
- Consider syrups like Flu-Lock, Jupitus-Junior, or Macbery Cold, ensuring they do not contain phenylephrine.
