Ariminic Syrup belongs to the combination medication called 'anti-allergic' primarily used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. Whereas, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.
Ariminic Syrup contains two medicines namely: Chlorpheniramine maleate (anti-histamine/anti-allergic) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergic symptoms. On the other hand, Phenylephrine helps shrink the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Together, Ariminic Syrup effectively reduces allergic symptoms.
Ariminic Syrup can be taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The duration of Ariminic Syrup will depend upon your condition. The most common side effects of Ariminic Syrup are drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth/nose/throat, upset stomach, constipation, or trouble sleeping. Most of these side effects of Ariminic Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
