Prescription RequiredAbout Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml
Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes or itchy/watery nose and throat. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat, mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus.' The virus attacks the body through the mouth, nose, or eyes and spreads quickly through droplets in the air when a person is sick, sneezes, coughs, or talks.
Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml is composed of three medicines, namely: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylpropanolamine (decongestant) and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylpropanolamine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, reducing 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.
Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml should be taken as advised by your doctor. The dose of this medicine will be based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and headache. Everyone doesn't need to experience the above side effects. In some cases, Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml may cause a severe allergic skin reaction, probably due to paracetamol, which may disappear in some time.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml. If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), liver or kidney disease, or coronary artery disease (heart disease), avoid using Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml as it may worsen your condition and symptom. Do not take Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml if you have taken any MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline, and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days. Intake of more than 4 gm of paracetamol can damage your liver, so it is better to avoid the use of Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml in severe liver damage. Phenylpropanolamine in Delcon Plus Syrup 60 ml should be used with caution in patients with occlusive vascular disease (nerve/artery blockage), including Raynaud's phenomenon (decreased blood flow to the fingers).

Disease/Condition Glossary
Common cold: The virus, commonly referred to as 'rhinoviruses,' which affects the nose and throat, causes the common cold (upper respiratory tract). Children under six years are most at risk for colds, but healthy adults can also be affected by getting 2 to 3 colds a year. Most people recover from cold symptoms in a week to ten days. Smokers and those who are exposed to allergens like pollen, dust, and other irritants may experience symptoms that last longer. Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body aches, low fever, mild headache, and unwell are all symptoms of the common cold. The nasal discharge may occasionally thicken and turn yellow or green, but this is not always a sign of a bacterial infection.
Allergies: These occur when foreign elements that cause allergy-causing agents (allergens) attack and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamines. This chemical messenger 'histamines' causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose, throat, and watery eyes. Allergies generally occur due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, dust, pollen hairs, seasonal allergies like hay fever, etc.
