New Tixylix Syrup is used in children to relieve dry, persistent cough caused by throat or airway irritation, allergies or colds, along with related symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. It is a combination medicine containing dextromethorphan and chlorpheniramine.
Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that reduces the activity of the cough centre in the brain, while chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that eases sneezing, a runny nose and watery eyes. Give it to your child with or without food, in the dose and frequency advised by your doctor, and continue for the full duration prescribed.
Offering your child warm fluids and using a humidifier can help soothe throat irritation alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking, and about your child's medical history, before starting. Avoid giving this medicine within two weeks of MAOIs such as phenelzine or selegiline. It may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so watch your child for unusual sleepiness. Report any persistent nausea, rash, or breathing difficulty to your doctor.
