About Siades Syrup

Siades Syrup is used to treat a dry cough. Coughing is a natural reflex that helps remove irritants such as allergens, mucus, and smoke from the airways and prevents infections. A dry cough is irritating and does not produce mucus, whereas a wet cough generates mucus or phlegm, which helps clear the airways, typically due to infections or irritation.

Siades Syrup contains Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, which works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough.

The most common side effects of Siades Syrup are dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, confusion, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
