Description

Sudokof Antitussive syrup is a mixture of antitussive, decongestant and antihistamine agents.

Dextromethorphan is used to suppress dry cough. Dextromethorphan is safe, effective and non-narcotic

antitussive. It blocks the cough reflex in situations where the dry cough serves no purpose. It does so by

calming the cough centre of the brain that governs the coughing reflex. Dextromethorphan does not induce tolerance, and has no potential for addiction like opiates Phenylephrine acts by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors. Phenylephrine acts on receptors in the muscles of the blood vessel walls, causing them to contract. This results in narrowing of the blood vessels and decreased blood flow in the lining of the nose and sinuses. Thus fluid congestion in the nose and

sinuses is reduced. Triprolidine is a strong antihistamine, which acts on histamine-1 (H) receptor. It blocks histamine, preventing dilatation of blood vessels, reducing redness and swelling It may

drowsiness.
