About Pyrigesic Syrup
Pyrigesic Syrup is used to reduce fever and treat mild to moderate pain. It is also used to relieve headaches, migraine, toothaches, period pain, back pain, muscle pain, and rheumatic pain. The activation of pain receptors causes pain and fever due to the release of certain natural chemicals in the body, like prostaglandin.
Pyrigesic Syrup works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, reducing pain. Additionally, Pyrigesic Syrup affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature, known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre, which reduces fever.
Not everyone who is taking Pyrigesic Syrup will get these side effects. In some cases, Pyrigesic Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, stomach pain and dark-coloured urine. Most of these side effects of Pyrigesic Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Take Pyrigesic Syrup as advised by your physician. Your doctor will recommend how often you should take Pyrigesic Syrup, based on your medical condition. You can take Pyrigesic Syrup with or without food. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended dose of Pyrigesic Syrup. Do not chew, crush, or break the medicine.
Avoid taking Pyrigesic Syrup if allergic to it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a physician before using Pyrigesic Syrup. Avoid alcohol consumption with Pyrigesic Syrup as it may increase the risk of liver damage. Let your doctor know if you have an impaired nutritional state caused by anorexia (eating disorder), malnutrition or alcohol abuse or if you are dehydrated before taking Pyrigesic Syrup.

How Pyrigesic Syrup Works
Storage
- Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
- Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
- Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
- Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
- Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
- Get urgent medical help if you notice abnormal lung sounds with symptoms, like bluish skin, flare-ups of your nostrils, or trouble breathing.
- If you have asthma or allergies, managing these conditions with inhalers and bronchodilators can help prevent abnormal lung sounds.
- Infections may need antibiotics or breathing therapy to help open your airways and make breathing easier.
- Wash your hands regularly and take other steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.
