About this Medicine
Xtro Kid Suspension contains three active medicines which together effectively treat symptoms such as dry cough (cough with no mucus), runny nose, fever, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. These symptoms are usually caused by the common cold and other respiratory conditions in children. Give Xtro Kid Suspension to your child orally in the dose, time, and way prescribed by your child’s doctor. You can give this medicine with or without food, but giving it with food will help prevent the chances of stomach upset. The dose of Xtro Kid Suspension will depend on your child’s clinical condition, body weight, and age. Prefer giving this medicine at a fixed time to prevent the chance of missed dose. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again. Your child may start to feel better within a few days of regular dosing. However, you must finish the prescribed course as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.Your child may exhibit minor and transient side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, rash, and headache after the intake of Xtro Kid Suspension. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, better consult your child’s doctor without any delay.Narrate your child’s complete medical history to the doctor. Do let the doctor know if your child is on a medicine regime or has had any history of allergies, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorders, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
How it Works
Xtro Kid Suspension is a combination of three medicines: Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, and Paracetamol which relieve dry cough. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that transmit pain signals and induce fever.
