Flucoril Syrup

Description

Introduction

In Treatment of Dry cough A dry cough is a cough where no phlegm or mucus is produced. It may cause a tickling sensation or itching in the throat. Flucoril Syrup suppresses severe dry cough and gives your child relief from an itchy throat. Along with taking this medicine, gargling with warm salt water and having ginger or honey can help your child manage the dry cough.

Benefits

Flucoril Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, and Paracetamol which relieve dry cough. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that transmit pain signals and induce fever.
