Prescription Required

Your child’s medicine at a glance

Kidylinctus 1.5 mg/1.5 mg/2.5 mg Syrup contains three active medicines. These work together to effectively treat dry cough (cough without mucus) that may occur in children due to allergic conditions such as common cold or hay fever. It also helps relieve symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, or watery eyes.

Give Kidylinctus 1.5 mg/1.5 mg/2.5 mg Syrup to your child orally, either before or after food but prefer giving it at a fixed time. The doctor will prescribe the dose based upon the child’s body weight, age, and clinical condition. Usually, Kidylinctus 1.5 mg/1.5 mg/2.5 mg Syrup is prescribed to be given up to 3 times a day. Do not continue the course for more than 4 to 5 days unless advised otherwise. Stick to the dose, time, and way as prescribed by the doctor.

If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. However, skip the dose if it is already the time for the next dose. Make sure not to double up the dose as overdose can cause side effects. Also, do not give Kidylinctus 1.5 mg/1.5 mg/2.5 mg Syrup with any other cough or cold medicine as that may also lead to increased side effects.

How Kidylinctus Syrup works

Kidylinctus 1.5 mg/1.5 mg/2.5 mg Syrup contains three active medicines: Promethazine, Pholcodine, and Phenylephrine. These work together and provide relief from dry cough associated with allergic reactions. Promethazine is an antiallergic. It blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) which triggers cough caused due to allergy. Pholcodine is a cough suppressant. It suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
