Description

T-Minic Oral Drops is a combination of Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine. This medicine is used to treat the symptoms of common cold and allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, cough, itching of the nose and throat, watery eyes, congested nose, etc. in children. It reduces the swelling of the blood vessels in the nasal (nose) passages and helps to ease the blocked or stuffy nose. It also stops the action of a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. T-Minic Oral Drops may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sleepiness and headache. If these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen, consult your child's doctor. T-Minic Oral Drops can be given with or without food, as instructed by the doctor. Make sure your child takes this medicine for the recommended duration. If the treatment is stopped early, the symptoms may recur, and your child's condition may worsen.
