Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component, those taking MAO inhibitors, patients with asthma exacerbation, and in children under 2 years. Avoid in patients with urinary retention or narrow-angle glaucoma.

Side effects

How it works

Oxomemazine is a phenothiazine-derived antihistamine with central antitussive and sedative properties. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that reduces mucus viscosity and facilitates mucociliary clearance. Sodium benzoate acts as a mild antitussive and preservative in the formulation.

Storage

Store at room temperature below 25°C, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
