About Pedicloryl Syrup

Pedicloryl Syrup belongs to a class of drugs called 'sedative-hypnotics' primarily used in the short-term treatment of insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that causes difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) due to various complications like stress, anxiety, and breathing problems.

Pedicloryl Syrup works by increasing GABA activity, which is a chemical messenger in the brain acting as a natural nerve-calming agent, thereby inducing sleep. Thus, Pedicloryl Syrup relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps falls asleep.

Take Pedicloryl Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take Pedicloryl Syrup as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. Some people may experience dizziness, diarrhea, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, nose or throat infections, tiredness, stomach pain, double vision, and back pain. Most of these side effects of Pedicloryl Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Pedicloryl Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you notice that tablets' effect is not as well as at the beginning of the treatment, please consult a doctor as you might have developed tolerance to Pedicloryl Syrup, and dose adjustment may be required. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Pedicloryl Syrup. If you have kidney, liver, or breathing problems, severe muscle weakness, sleep apnoea (a serious condition where breathing stops and repeatedly starts in sleep), and if you have a history of depression or mental illness, please inform your doctor before taking Pedicloryl Syrup.
