About Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml

Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml belongs to the class of medication called 'cough and cold medications' primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies like sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as 'rhinovirus'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml is a combination of three drugs, namely: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant), and Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine/antiallergic). Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride works by shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage. Thereby providing relief from congestion and decreasing excess mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy.

Use Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often your child needs to take Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml based on his/her medical condition. Sometimes, Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml may cause common side effects such as drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep), blurred vision, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects of Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If your child is allergic to Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please do not give more than the prescribed dose of Rapid CF Syrup 60 ml to your child as it may cause severe liver damage or allergic reactions such as swelling of the face, mouth, and throat, difficulty in breathing, itching or rash.
