About Alex Junior Syrup 60 ml

Alex Junior Syrup 60 ml is primarily used to treat cough caused by throat irritation, sneezing, and a runny nose in children. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways and preventing infection.

Alex Junior Syrup 60 ml contains chlorphenamine maleate and dextromethorphan. Chlorphenamine maleate blocks histamine receptors to reduce allergy symptoms. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide prevents cough by blocking signals from the brain’s cough centre. Together, Alex Junior Syrup 60 ml helps relieve coughs, colds, and allergy symptoms.

In some cases, Alex Junior Syrup 60 ml may cause side effects like dry mouth, sleepiness, nausea, and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
