About Tricoryl Syrup

Tricoryl Syrup is used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as allergens.

Tricoryl Syrup contains Chlorpheniramine maleate and Phenylephrine. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergic symptoms. Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose.

The side effects of Tricoryl Syrup include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth/nose/throat, upset stomach, constipation, or trouble sleeping. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Tricoryl Syrup. Please tell your doctor before starting Tricoryl Syrup if you have a liver problem, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Tricoryl Syrup may cause drowsiness and sleepiness, so it is advised not to drive or operate machinery.
