Zedex-SF Syrup may cause the following side effects:

Dryness in mouth, nose, and throat: This can cause discomfort and a feeling of 'scratchiness' in these areas.
Nausea and vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

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

Here are two tips for managing common side effects:

Dryness in mouth, nose, and throat: Try taking Zedex-SF Syrup with a glass of water to help manage this effect.
Nausea and vomiting: If you feel nauseous after taking this medicine, try having it with your meals to lessen this effect.

Zedex-SF Syrup consists of two active ingredients:

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (10 mg): This component works as a cough suppressant. It operates centrally in the medulla oblongata of your brain which raises the threshold for coughing, hence relieving dry cough symptoms without hastening recovery.
Chlorpheniramine maleate (2 mg): This substance acts as an antihistamine in your body. It competes with histamine at H1-receptor sites, effectively preventing symptoms typically caused by histamine like a runny nose and sneezing.

Caution is advised while taking Zedex-SF Syrup if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's important to discuss it with your doctor before starting Zedex-SF Syrup.
