About Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension

Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension is used to treat dry cough. Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension is a combination of chlorpheniramine and dextromethorphan. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough.

Some people may experience dry mouth, throat, or nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, or restlessness or excitation. Most of the side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension. Avoid using Chericof 12 Cherry Flavour Suspension if you have taken medications such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, or Isocarboxazid in the past 14 days.

Health Queries

I have cough and cold with fever during this weather change. Which cough syrup is best for me?

Mr Vikas Singh

Mr Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Cough, cold and fever during weather changes are usually due to a viral infection or seasonal sensitivity. Focus on warm fluids, rest and steam inhalation to ease congestion and throat irritation. Keep yourself warm and avoid exposure to cold air or dust. A cough syrup may help, depending on the type of cough, but it is not the same for everyone. Consult your doctor to choose the most suitable syrup for your symptoms.

My child has a mild cough. Which cough syrup is safe and suitable for my child?

Mr Vikas Singh

Mr Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

A mild cough in children is quite common and often settles on its own within a few days. Make sure your child stays hydrated, and the room air is not too dry, as this can worsen the cough. Keeping the nose clear and avoiding dust or cold air can help reduce irritation. If the cough continues or disturbs sleep, consult your doctor for guidance.

My child has a cough and cannot sleep at night. Which cough syrup is safe and best for my child?

Mr Vikas Singh

Mr Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Cough in children can worsen at night due to throat irritation and nasal blockage. Focus on warm fluids, steam inhalation and keeping the nose clear to help your child sleep better. Avoid giving cough syrups on your own, as they may not be safe for all ages. Keep the child comfortable and ensure proper rest. Consult your doctor to choose a safe and suitable cough syrup if needed.
