LEVODROPROPIZINE 30MG + CHLORPHENIRAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE 2MG
This combination syrup is primarily used for the relief of dry, irritating cough and allergic symptoms in children. It contains two active ingredients: Levodropropizine, which is a cough suppressant, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine. Together, they provide effective relief from persistent coughs and allergy-related symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itching.
Key Ingredients:
- Levodropropizine (30mg) :- Levodropropizine is a peripheral antitussive (cough suppressant) that works by reducing the cough reflex. It is different from central cough suppressants because it acts on the lungs rather than the brain, making it more suitable for children as it has fewer central nervous system-related side effects.
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg) :- Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine receptors in the body, which are responsible for triggering allergic reactions.
Benefits of the Syrup:
- Cough Relief: Levodropropizine effectively suppresses dry cough, providing relief from persistent coughing episodes, especially at night, which can disrupt sleep.
- Allergy Symptom Control: Chlorpheniramine helps control the common symptoms of allergies that often exacerbate coughs, such as a runny nose or sneezing.
- Better Rest and Sleep: By reducing coughing and calming allergic reactions, this syrup helps children rest better during the day and sleep more peacefully at night.
- Peripheral Action: Since Levodropropizine acts on the cough reflex at the site of the respiratory tract rather than centrally in the brain, it’s a safer option for children, minimizing the risk of sedation or neurological side effects.
- Mild Sedation: The antihistamine in Chlorpheniramine also helps soothe the child, reducing the irritability that may come with continuous coughing or allergy symptoms.
