Composition

Ambroxol (30 Mg) + Cetirizine (2.5 Mg)

Cetam Syrup 60 ML is primarily used to manage cough and provide relief from allergic symptoms. This combination medicine belongs to a group of medicines known as antihistamines and mucolytics.

Apart from managing cough, this syrup also helps in controlling symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion. It can also provide relief from non-productive cough associated with respiratory tract disorders and loosen mucus in the case of respiratory conditions with thick secretions.

For the appropriate dosage and frequency of taking this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor. Prior to starting on this medication, remember to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications that you may be on. If while on this medication you notice any side effects, do notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Cetam Syrup 60 ML is used for the following:

Providing relief from non-productive cough linked to respiratory tract disorders.
Easing allergic symptoms from conditions like hay fever, hives, and reactions to insect bites.
Helping clear thick, sticky secretions in respiratory conditions.

Administer Cetam Syrup 60 ML as follows:

Use a proper measuring device to get the correct dose of the syrup.
Keep the bottle securely capped after use.
This medicine is sugar-based and needs caution for use in diabetic patients. If you have diabetes, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Cetam Syrup 60 ML is taken orally.

Cetam Syrup 60 ML may have the following common side effects:

Sleepiness
Fatigue
Dizziness
Dryness of mouth
Upset stomach
Diarrhoea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of Cetam Syrup 60 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Sleepiness: Try taking Cetam Syrup 60 ML at night if it makes you feel drowsy during the day.
Upset stomach: If it causes an upset stomach, you might find it helpful to take this medicine with meals.

Cetam Syrup 60 ML has two active ingredients working together:

Ambroxol (30 mg): As a mucolytic, ambroxol aids in reducing the thickness of the mucus, making it easier to cough out. It does so by increasing the production of surfactant in the lungs which reduces the stickiness of mucus. Furthermore, it stimulates the movement of cilia - tiny hair-like structures that line our airways and help push mucus out.
Cetirizine (2.5 mg): This is an antihistamine that blocks the actions of histamine - a chemical messenger involved in allergic reactions. Histamine is responsible for symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. By blocking histamine, cetirizine provides relief from these symptoms.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's advisable to discuss with your doctor before starting Cetam Syrup 60 ML. This medicine is not generally recommended during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.

Breastfeeding

It's advised to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are nursing.

Alcohol

Alcohol might enhance the drowsiness induced by cetirizine in Cetam Syrup 60 ML. Hence, it's better to avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine.

Liver

Caution is advised if you have liver problems and are taking Cetam Syrup 60 ML. Make sure to discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medication, as it may affect liver function.

Kidney

Cetam Syrup 60 ML should be used with caution if you have kidney problems. It's good practice to talk to your doctor about your kidney health before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Cetam Syrup 60 ML may cause sleepiness or dizziness. If you experience these effects, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel alert again.

Allergy

Avoid taking Cetam Syrup 60 ML if you are allergic to ambroxol, cetirizine or any other ingredients in the syrup. If you're unsure about potential allergies, discuss it with your doctor first.

Children

The use of Cetam Syrup 60 ML in children under 18 years requires caution. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Cetam Syrup 60 ML under medical supervision as they might be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised for patients above 70 years of age who may also have liver and kidney issues or might be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cetam Syrup 60 ML interacts with the following medicines:

Sleep aids: Combining Cetam Syrup 60 ML with medications intended for sleep like zolpidem or temazepam can increase drowsiness and fatigue.
Antianxiety medications: Medicines like diazepam or lorazepam may enhance the sedative effect of cetirizine in Cetam Syrup 60 ML.
Antidepressants: Taking Cetam Syrup 60 ML along with medicines like amitriptyline or doxepin could potentially heighten the sleepy effect.
Opioid painkillers: Medicines such as morphine, oxycodone, or hydrocodone can further intensify the feeling of tiredness when taken with this syrup.
Anticonvulsants: Medicines like phenytoin, carbamazepine, or valproic acid may interact with this syrup leading to enhanced drowsiness.

Drug-Food Interactions

Grapefruit juice could potentially augment the drowsiness caused by cetirizine in Cetam Syrup 60 ML.

Kidney disease: Patients with kidney issues should exercise caution as this syrup's components might not be cleared effectively from their system.
Liver disease: Those with impaired liver function should be cautious since the syrup's metabolism could be affected.
Epilepsy: The syrup could potentially trigger seizures in epilepsy patients due to its sedative effect.
Glaucoma: The cetirizine in the syrup might potentially increase pressure within the eyes of glaucoma patients.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Cetam Syrup 60 ML should be taken as directed by your doctor. This may vary based on individual factors such as the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It's crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and not change it without your doctor's approval.

Over Dose

Taking more than the prescribed dose of Cetam Syrup 60 ML can result in side effects such as sleepiness, fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, upset stomach, and diarrhoea. If you suspect you've taken too much, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Cetam Syrup 60 ML at the usual time, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.
