Cheston Syrup is primarily used to manage productive cough, especially those involving mucus in the respiratory tract. This combination medicine falls under the category of expectorants and antihistamines, which work together to ease your symptoms.

Apart from addressing productive coughs, it also helps with conditions such as common colds and allergies. It thins and loosens mucus, thus making coughs more productive, less frequent and easier to manage. It also offers relief from runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes that can accompany allergies or the common cold.

It's important to take this medicine orally as directed by your doctor. Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting on this Syrup. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the syrup for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

How Cheston Raspberry Flavour Sugar Free Expectorant 60ml Works?

Cheston Syrup contains three active ingredients:

Bromhexine (4mg): Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic and expectorant. This means it breaks down mucopolysaccharides which are components of mucus. By doing so, it thins bronchial secretions in your lungs helping to remove mucus.
Guaifenesin (50mg): Guaifenesin is an expectorant that works by stimulating cholinergic receptors in your body. This increases the volume and decreases the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, enhancing what's known as 'mucociliary clearance'. In simpler terms, it helps to clear mucus from your airways.
Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg): Chlorpheniramine is an alkylamine antihistamine. It works by competing with histamine for H1-receptor sites in your body; this reduces the effects of histamine and provides relief from allergy symptoms.

Pregnancy

Exercise caution while taking Cheston Syrup if you are pregnant. It's always best to consult your doctor before beginning this medication during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Cheston Syrup is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Caution is advised when consuming alcohol while taking Cheston Syrup as it may increase drowsiness and dizziness. Consult your doctor for advice.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised while taking Cheston Syrup. Discuss these health issues with your doctor before starting this medicine, as it may affect liver function.

Kidney

Before using Cheston Syrup, exercise caution if you have a history of kidney problems. Consulting your doctor before taking this medicine is a good idea.

Using Machines & Driving

As Cheston Syrup may cause drowsiness or dizziness, use caution when driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.

Allergy

Do not use Cheston Syrup if you are allergic to bromhexine, chlorpheniramine, guaifenesin, or any of its other ingredients. Consult your doctor if you have known allergies.

Children

Caution is advised when giving Cheston Syrup to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before administering any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Cheston Syrup under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Antihistamines: Concurrent use of Cheston Syrup with other antihistamines such as cetirizine or loratadine may increase the risk of side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary retention.
Central nervous system depressants: Medications that cause drowsiness like opioids, sleeping pills, and muscle relaxants can enhance the sedative effect when taken alongside Cheston Syrup.
