About Bar Syrup

Bar Syrup is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever in adults and paediatrics above 6 months of age. It helps to treat conditions such as menstrual cramps, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, and flu symptoms.
 
Bar Syrup contains 'Ibuprofen', which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body. It is known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. 
 
Take Bar Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Bar Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence (gas), general weakness, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently. 
 
Bar Syrup may increase the chances of stomach ulcers, bleeding and the risk of heart attack or stroke. Avoid or limit the intake of alcohol while taking Bar Syrup. Consult your doctor before taking Bar Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Bar Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Bar Syrup may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Do not take Bar Syrup for more than 10 days unless prescribed by your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Bar Syrup belongs to the group of NSAIDs used to relieve pain and inflammation. Bar Syrup relieves period pain, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, flu, and fever symptoms.

By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Besides this, it also minimizes fever due to pain and inflammatory conditions.
