Grilinctus Syrup
Description
Grilinctus Syrup is a commonly prescribed medicine for relieving cough and cold symptoms. It is especially effective in managing dry, irritating, or allergic coughs, and can also be helpful in cases of bronchitis. This syrup contains a blend of active ingredients, ammonium chloride, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and guaifenesin, that work together to reduce cough frequency and improve breathing comfort. By easing irritation in the airways and loosening mucus, Grilinctus Syrup helps patients feel better and recover faster from respiratory discomfort.
The key ingredients in Grilinctus Syrup each play an important role. Dextromethorphan works by suppressing the urge to cough in cases of dry cough. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine medication that reduces symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation. Guaifenesin helps thin and loosen mucus in the chest, making it easier to cough up, while ammonium chloride further aids in reducing mucus thickness and helps clear the airways. Together, these components make the syrup effective for a wide range of cough-related problems.
For best results, Grilinctus Syrup should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Always use a measuring cup or spoon to ensure the right dosage. Taking more than the recommended dose may lead to unwanted side effects. It is important not to self-medicate or prolong use beyond the prescribed duration. This syrup is intended for short-term relief and should be used in conjunction with rest, hydration, and proper care to support a faster recovery.
Like all medicines, Grilinctus Syrup may cause some side effects in certain individuals. The most common symptoms include drowsiness, dry mouth, nasal congestion or throat irritation, constipation, headache, nausea, vomiting, and occasional loss of appetite. Some people may also experience increased chest congestion. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, it is advisable to consult your doctor.
Before starting Grilinctus Syrup, it is essential to inform your doctor about your complete medical history. Please share details of any allergies, existing health conditions, or ongoing medications and supplements, as this will help prevent potential interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this syrup only if prescribed by their doctor. By following your doctor’s advice and taking the syrup responsibly, Grilinctus Syrup can provide quick and effective relief from cough and related symptoms.

How Does It Work?
- Grilinctus syrup contains ammonium chloride, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and guaifenesin.
- Ammonium chloride and guaifenesin reduce the mucous and irritation in the throat, airways, and lungs.
- Dextromethorphan acts on the brain's cough centre and reduces the urge to cough.
- Chlorpheniramine inhibits chemical substances like prostaglandins, which cause swelling and irritation in the throat and lungs.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Concomitant use of Grilinctus syrup with psychiatric medicines can increase the side effects of psychiatric medicines and also increase drowsiness and dizziness.
- The risk of side effects such as confusion, shakiness, irritation and diarrhoea increases when this syrup is taken together with medicines used to treat psychotic disorders.
- Some medicines can affect the way Grilinctus syrup works, or Grilinctus syrup itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are taking to avoid any possible interaction.
- Especially if you are taking medicines to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, high/abnormal cholesterol levels, blood thinners, anti-infectives, anti-diabetics, anti-asthmatics, pain killers, immunomodulatory medicines or medicines for brain-related disorders....
