Information about Duvent-PD Syrup
Duvent-PD Syrup is a medication primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, particularly those involving cough and congestion. It is a combination medication that typically contains:
- Ambroxol: This is a mucolytic agent that helps to break down and thin mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory tract.
- Levocetirizine: This is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms.
- Phenylephrine: This is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages, helping to relieve congestion.
Uses of Duvent-PD Syrup:
- Cough: Helps to loosen and clear mucus in the airways.
- Congestion: Relieves nasal and sinus congestion by reducing swelling in the nasal passages.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Alleviates symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes associated with allergic reactions.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Drowsiness (more common with levocetirizine)
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Dizziness
If you experience severe side effects such as difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, or fast/irregular heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.
