Side Effects of Biochemdryl Dr Syrup 100ml

Biochemdryl-DR Syrup may cause the following common side effects:

Drowsiness or dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Stomach upset
Restlessness: This means you might feel unusually agitated or unable to relax.

If any of these side effects become severe or persist for a prolonged period, please consult your doctor.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Biochemdryl-DR Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Drowsiness or dizziness: Try taking Biochemdryl-DR Syrup at night to reduce the impact of these symptoms during your daily activities. Keep your hydration level on point.
Stomach pain: Consider taking this medicine with food to help ease this effect.

The active ingredient in Biochemdryl-DR Syrup is Dextromethorphan (15 MG). Here's how it works:

Raising Cough Threshold: Dextromethorphan increases the threshold for coughing in your body, thereby reducing your urge to cough.
Acting on Cough Centre: This medicine acts directly on the cough centre located in a part of the brain known as the medulla oblongata. It suppresses the cough reflex initiated by this centre.

Remember, this process only helps manage your symptoms; it does not treat the cause of your cough or speed up recovery.
