About Jeskof Syrup

Jeskof Syrup is indicated in the treatment of dry cough in children. It may also be used to treat whooping cough, smoker’s cough and allergic cough. A dry cough, also known as a non-productive cough, does not produce mucus/phlegm.

Jeskof Syrup contains chlorpheniramine maleate, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and phenylephrine hydrochloride. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Additionally, it relieves congestion and alleviates allergy symptoms.

Sometimes, Jeskof Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, constipation, drowsiness, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if they persist or worsen, contact the doctor.

Please inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any of the components in Jeskof Syrup . Also, keep the doctor informed about your child’s health condition and any medications they are taking to rule out any potential side effects or interactions.
