About Alex Junior Syrup

Alex Junior Syrup is primarily used for short-term relief of cough caused by throat irritation, sneezing, and a runny nose in children. Additionally, it alleviates allergy symptoms like watery eyes and nasal congestion. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Alex Junior Syrup contains chlorphenamine maleate (antihistamine) and dextromethorphan (cough suppressant). Chlorphenamine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce a cough. Together, Alex Junior Syrup helps relieve cough, cold, and allergic symptoms.

Give Alex Junior Syrup with or without food as advised by your doctor, with the help of a measuring cup. In some cases, Alex Junior Syrup may cause side effects like dry mouth, sleepiness, nausea, and fatigue. Most of these side effects of Alex Junior Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not give Alex Junior Syrup if your child is allergic to any of its ingredients. Let the doctor know if your child has any other health conditions or is taking other medicines to prevent any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
