Numark Children’s Tickly Cough (Glycerin Bp)

Glycerin, the active ingredient in Numark Children’s Tickly Cough, is a demulcent presented as an oral solution for oral use. It soothes dry, tickly coughs and mild throat irritation in children. GNH USA supplies Numark Children’s Tickly Cough as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Numark Children’s Tickly Cough contains glycerin, a demulcent that coats the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. It is indicated for: - Dry tickly cough in children: provides soothing relief of throat irritation and reduces cough frequency. - Mild throat irritation: creates a protective film that eases discomfort. - Cough associated with mild colds: helps keep the airway moist, supporting natural clearance.

Glycerin is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after ingestion. - Taste alteration: temporary sweet or metallic taste. - Diarrhoea: loose stools in sensitive individuals. - Skin rash: mild erythema at the mouth or perioral area. - Mild abdominal discomfort: transient cramping. - Allergic itching: localized itching of the oral mucosa.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction with breathing difficulty. - Severe bronchospasm: sudden tightening of airway muscles. - Aspiration pneumonia: risk if the syrup is inhaled instead of swallowed. - Persistent vomiting: may lead to dehydration. - Hypersensitivity shock: systemic response requiring emergency care. - Significant electrolyte imbalance: rare with excessive use.

When using Numark Children’s Tickly Cough, consider the following safety measures: - Age limitation: not recommended for infants under 2 years of age. - Allergy: avoid if the patient has known glycerin hypersensitivity. - Diabetes caution: monitor blood glucose as the syrup may contain sugars. - Concurrent demulcents: limit use with other cough syrups to prevent excess viscosity. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.
