About Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml

Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml belongs to the combination medication called ‘anti-allergics’ primarily used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml contains two medicines namely: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine/anti-allergic) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine is an ‘antihistamine’ that blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergies symptoms like common cold symptoms. On the other hand, Phenylephrine is a ‘decongestant’ that helps in shrinking the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Together, Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml effectively reduces allergic symptoms.

Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml can be taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Do not chew, bite, or break it. The dose of Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml will depend upon your condition. The most common side effects of Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml are drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth/nose/throat, upset of stomach, constipation, or trouble in sleeping.  Most of these side effects of Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml even if you feel better without asking your doctor as your symptoms may come back and may even worsen your condition.  Also, inform your doctor about all other medications you have been taking before starting Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml. Please tell your doctor before starting Ascoril Flu Syrup 60 ml if you have a liver problem, are pregnant, or breastfeeding.
