Drug Overview

Winco Foods Children's Multi Symptom Cold Relief is a medication designed to help relieve various symptoms associated with the common cold in children aged 4 and over. It works by loosening phlegm (mucus) and thinning bronchial secretions, making coughs more productive. This product temporarily alleviates cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation, helps reduce the impulse to cough so your child can sleep better, and relieves nasal congestion and a stuffy nose.

The active ingredients include dextromethorphan HBr, which acts as a cough suppressant; guaifenesin, an expectorant that helps clear mucus; and phenylephrine HCl, a nasal decongestant that reduces swelling in the nasal passages. This combination helps your child feel more comfortable during cold symptoms.

Uses

This medication is designed to help you breathe easier by loosening phlegm (mucus) and thinning bronchial secretions. This action helps clear out bothersome mucus from your airways, making your coughs more productive.

You can use this medication to temporarily relieve coughs caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation, which can happen with the common cold or from inhaling irritants. It also helps reduce the intensity of coughing and the urge to cough, making it easier for your child to sleep. Additionally, it can relieve nasal congestion and a stuffy nose associated with colds.

Dosage and Administration

When using this medication, it's important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. You should never give more than 6 doses within a 24-hour period. Always measure the medication using the dosing cup that comes with the product, and avoid using this cup for any other products to prevent confusion.

For children aged 6 years to under 12 years, the recommended dose is 10 mL every 4 hours. If your child is between 4 and under 6 years old, the dose is 5 mL every 4 hours. However, if your child is under 4 years of age, you should not use this medication. Always consult with a doctor if you have any questions or concerns about the appropriate dosage for your child.

What to Avoid

Additionally, you must wait at least two weeks after stopping an MAOI before using this product. If you're unsure whether your child's medication includes an MAOI, please consult a doctor or pharmacist.
