Tussistin – Cough syrup


Introduction

Cough is a reflex to keep the throat and airways clear. However, excessive coughing may mean underlying disease or disorder. Cough can be either acute or chronic. Acute cough begins suddenly and usually last no more than 2 to 3 weeks. Acute cough is most often associated with cold or flu. Cough may be dry, loose and spasmodic.  Dry cough is due to affections of the throat, laryngitis and bronchitis.  Some times it could be of nervous origin.  Loose cough is seen in the expectoration stage of bronchitis.  Spasmodic cough can be due to allergic disorders or seen in whooping cough. Tussistin Cough Syrup is formulated to cover different types of coughs. The homoeopathic remedies included in the product are proven for its effectiveness in the treatment of cough and pain due to cough. These help liquefaction of tenacious bronchial secretions, promoting expectoration and lowering of fever.
