Description:

C.R.M Linctus Cherry contains two active medicines.

It also helps relieve symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, or watery eyes.

If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. However, skip the dose if it is already the time for the next dose.
