Benadryl syrup

Benadryl DR Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antitussives, which are used to treat a dry cough. Coughing is a natural reflex that helps remove irritants like allergens, mucus, or smoke from the airways and prevents infections. Coughs are categorised as dry or wet. A dry cough is irritating and does not produce mucus, whereas a damp cough generates mucus or phlegm, which helps clear the airways, typically due to infections or irritation.

Benadryl DR Syrup contains Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, a cough suppressant. It works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough.

The most common side effects of Benadryl DR Syrup are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, and abdominal discomfort. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Benadryl DR Syrup if you are allergic to any of its components. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before starting Benadryl DR Syrup. Benadryl DR Syrup should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Benadryl DR Syrup may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Let your doctor know if you are taking any prescription/non-prescription drugs or herbal products before starting Benadryl DR Syrup.
