Indication
WHAT IS DHASEDYL SYRUP USED FOR?
Dhasedyl syrup contains:
Codeine: an opioid derivative/opiate agonist which has cough suppressant properties for relieving non-productive cough.
Promethazine: a sedating phenothiazine derivative antihistamine, which relieves symptoms of allergic condition and rhinitis.
Ephedrine: has sympathomimetic effect which is used for symptomatic relief of nasal congestion.
This formulation is used for temporary or short term (7 days) relief for cough and nasal congestion associated with upper respiratory symptoms due to allergy or the common cold. If symptoms persist consult the physician. Dosage should not be increased if cough fails to respond.
Dosing
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:
Extreme care should be taken in giving an accurate dose of medicine because overdoses have been reported to cause serious adverse events. It is highly recommended that a measuring spoon or syringe (which can be obtained from the pharmacy) be used to administer doses.
To be administered orally.
Adults: 5 to 10ml 3 or 4 times a day.
Children and Adolescents: Codeine should not be used in children below 12 years old. In those 12 years old and above, codeine may be used for the treatment of unproductive cough which is not relieved by other anti-tussives alone. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible duration.
