Faq For Medicine

Q1. What is this syrup for?
It helps with a dry cough, stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and allergy symptoms.

Q2. Is it a drug that kills bacteria?
No, it only cures the symptoms of a cough or cold; it doesn't cure the infection. Antibiotics are different medicines that you only take when you have a bacterial illness.

Q3. Is it safe for kids to take?
These cough and cold syrups are neither safe or effective for very young children (particularly those under 2–5 years old). If you want to give them to older children, you should talk to a doctor first.

Q4. Is it okay to take it if I have a wet cough with mucus?
This syrup is mostly for dry coughs and other upper respiratory symptoms. If you have a cough with heavy mucus, expectorants are usually better.
