If someone has taken more than the prescribed amount of Maxtra syrup, contact emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department now, especially if it is a child. In India, call 112 or 108.

Maxtra commonly contains chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine. Maxtra-P may also contain paracetamol/acetaminophen. These can cause sleepiness or agitation, fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, vomiting, seizures, breathing problems, or dangerous delayed liver injury if paracetamol is involved. Product information confirms Maxtra-P has chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, and paracetamol.

Reply with: exact bottle name (Maxtra or Maxtra-P), amount swallowed, when, age and weight, and current symptoms.

20 mL is an overdose for many children. Call the AIIMS National Poisons Information Centre now: 1800 116 117 (24/7), or go to the nearest emergency department. If the person is sleepy, confused, agitated, has a fast heartbeat, breathing difficulty, seizure, or collapses, call 112/108 immediately.

Do not induce vomiting or give other cough/cold medicines. Keep the bottle with you.

I need the age, weight, exact product name on the bottle (Maxtra or Maxtra-P), and how long ago it was taken. Maxtra-P also contains paracetamol, which needs prompt assessment even if the person looks well. The AIIMS poison centre advises calling for suspected poisoning.
