About Azicoff PD Orange Syrup

Azicoff PD Orange Syrup belongs to a class of antiarrhythmic medicines used to treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and protect the heart during the early stages after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), which occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood and oxygen.

Azicoff PD Orange Syrup contains Atenolol, which works by blocking certain natural substances in the heart and blood vessels. This slows the heart rate and reduces blood pressure, lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

Azicoff PD Orange Syrup is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Some people may experience cold hands or feet, diarrhoea, nausea, or tiredness. These side effects usually resolve over time, but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen.

Before using Azicoff PD Orange Syrup, inform your doctor if you have any allergies to its ingredients, are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. For pediatric use, the dose and duration must be determined by a paediatrician and administered under strict medical supervision. Additionally, provide your doctor with your complete medical history and details of any current medications to minimise the risk of adverse effects or drug interactions.

How Azicoff PD Orange Syrup Works

Azicoff PD Orange Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely: Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), Phenylephrine (decongestant), and Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant). Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps shrink blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing a stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Collectively, it helps relieve a dry cough.
