• New Grilinctus is an anti-allergic, non-narcotic formulation that primarily acts as a cough suppressant by calming the brain's cough center. It is important to note that this specific formula is not an expectorant or a mucolytic, meaning it does not thin or loosen mucus.
• For adults, the standard dose is generally 5ml to 10ml, taken 3 to 4 times a day. The minimum interval between doses should be 4 to 6 hours to avoid an overdose of the suppressant components.
• Regarding pediatric safety, this syrup should not be given to babies or children aged 1 or 2 years. While it is sometimes used for a 6-year-old, the dose for a child must be strictly determined by a pediatrician; it is generally discouraged for a 3-year-old.
• This medication can cause drowsiness and make you feel tired or sleepy. Because of these side effects, you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how the syrup affects your alertness.
• Most standard versions contain sugar, which is a concern for those seeking a sugar-free cough syrup for diabetics. If you have diabetes, you must consult your doctor before use to ensure it does not affect your blood glucose levels.
• Using this syrup during pregnancy, including in the 38th week, should only be done if your doctor considers it essential. There is also limited safety data for individuals with G6PD deficiency or chronic kidney disease, requiring a prior medical consultation.
• While it is often taken alongside other medications, there can be interactions between Grilinctus and certain antibiotics (like Phexin) or other allergy tablets. Always confirm with a healthcare provider before combining treatments.
• Patients often identify the medication as a green-colored cough syrup, but it is vital to check the label for the specific active ingredients. Some variants contain terbutaline sulfate and bromhexine hydrochloride, which serve a different purpose than the standard suppressant formula.

How Does It Work?

• Grilinctus Syrup works by coaction of its three components. It has anti-allergic, cough suppressant and decongestant properties.
• Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It acts on a certain part of the cough centre or brain and reduces the cough.
• Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant. It works by reducing the swelling of blood vessels of nasal passage by constricting the blood vessels and thereby relieves nasal congestion or blockage.
• Chlorpheniramine is an anti-allergic agent. It helps in relieving symptoms of allergy. It works by blocking the release of certain natural substance histamine, which is responsible for allergic symptoms. Histamine is produced when the body detects any foreign substance.

Interactions with other medicines

• Grilinctus Syrup should not be consumed with or at least after 2 weeks of consumption of certain medicines used for the treatment of brain-related disorders such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline, etc.
• Medicines used to treat infections (antibiotics) like linezolid and medicine used to relax the muscles like oxazepam and baclofen should not be taken along with the Grilinctus Syrup.
• Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medicines, herbal preparations and supplements to avoid any interaction.
