About Snownil Syrup
Snownil Syrup belongs to a class of medication called 'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat the common cold, like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat in children. 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 who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.
Snownil Syrup is a combination of four different medicines: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (a decongestant), Paracetamol (a mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Sodium Citrate (a mucolytic). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing a 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. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent; it helps to loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.
Give Snownil Syrup to the child as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you to give Snownil Syrup based on the child’s medical condition. The common side effects of Snownil Syrup that may occur in some children are drowsiness, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, and headache. If any of these effects persist in your child, consult your doctor for relief. In some cases, Snownil Syrup may cause a severe allergic skin reaction, probably due to paracetamol, which may disappear in some time.
