Precautions
Drowsiness: Chlorpheniramine can cause drowsiness, so caution is advised when allowing children to engage in activities that require alertness (e.g., school, sports).
Alcohol Use: Avoid alcohol, as it may enhance the sedative effects of chlorpheniramine.
Heart Disease: Phenylephrine may raise blood pressure. Use cautiously in children with heart disease or hypertension.
Liver Disease: Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver, so use cautiously in children with liver disease. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose to prevent liver damage.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before using SINERA-P DROPS during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Caffeine and Other Stimulants: Avoid other sources of caffeine or stimulants while using SINERA-P DROPS to avoid potential overstimulation in children.
