Benefits of Brozine Syrup for your child

In Treatment of Dry cough

A dry cough is a cough where no phlegm or mucus is produced. It may cause a tickling sensation or itching in the throat and may be due to cold, flu, allergies or throat irritants.

Along with medications, drinking lukewarm water and gargling with warm salt water may also help ease symptoms for your child.

How Brozine Syrup works

Brozine Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, dextromethorphan, and cetirizine which relieve dry cough. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Cetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing.

FAQs

My child is 5 months old and has a dry cough. Can I give him Brozine Syrup?

No. Brozine Syrup should not be given to children who are less than 2 years of age because it contains an ingredient, dextromethorphan, which can interfere with the functioning of your child's brain Hence, give Brozine Syrup to your child only after speaking to your child’s doctor.

Can Brozine Syrup make my child sleepy?

Brozine Syrup may cause mild drowsiness making your child feel sleepy. However, be cautious and never give this medicine to your child to induce sleep.

It’s best to always consult your child’s doctor regarding any problem your child might be facing and before giving any medicine to your child.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Brozine Syrup?

Can I give the cough medicine prescribed for me to my child?
