As a \u003cstrong\u003eSchedule 2\u003c\/strong\u003e medicine in South Africa, it combines an antihistamine with two distinct decongestants to address \"blocked\" sensations in the nose, sinuses, and ears. Unlike single-ingredient products, Rinex is designed to shrink swollen nasal passages while drying up excessive secretions, making it a comprehensive choice for managing heavy congestion and \"stuffy\" heads. It is available in a standard 100ml syrup and a specialized \"Pediatric\" (PED) alcohol-free version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Product Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNasal Congestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Effectively unblocks stuffy noses caused by viral infections or hay fever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSinusitis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps drain and relieve pressure in the sinus cavities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergic Rhinitis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controls sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes associated with environmental allergens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEustachian Tube Congestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Often used as an adjunct treatment for middle ear infections to help \"pop\" and clear the ears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfluenzal Catarrh:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces the thick mucus associated with flu-like illnesses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Decongestant Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses both Phenylephrine and Phenylpropanolamine to target blood vessel swelling in the respiratory tract.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSustained Relief:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formulated to maintain clear airways for several hours between doses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Symptom Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Addresses the \"runny\" (antihistamine) and \"stuffy\" (decongestant) aspects of a cold simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in an alcohol-based syrup for adults and an alcohol-free \"PED\" version for children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 5 ml of \u003cstrong\u003eRinex Syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e (Standard) contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChlorphenamine Maleate (4 mg):\u003c\/strong\u003e A sedating antihistamine that dries up nasal secretions and stops sneezing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride (5 mg):\u003c\/strong\u003e A sympathomimetic that reduces swelling in the nasal mucosa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhenylephrine Hydrochloride (5 mg):\u003c\/strong\u003e A direct-acting decongestant that improves airflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains 4.50% v\/v alcohol and sorbitol (which may have a mild laxative effect).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDosage Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eoral liquid decongestant syrup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuantity \/ Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 ml bottle.
