Flucol Syrup is used to treat the common cold symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat.

Flucol Syrup is a combination of four different medicines: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (a decongestant), Paracetamol (a mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Sodium Citrate (a mucolytic). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing a stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, responsible for pain and fever. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent; it helps to loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.

It is not recommended to give a higher dose than the recommended dose to your child, as it may lead to unpleasant side effects and toxicity. If you feel the severity of your child's symptoms is increasing, please consult your doctor.
