Description
- Many times, cough is also associated with symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, nasal congestion and sneezing. A cough not only causes discomfort for the person experiencing it, but also disrupts those around them.
- Grilinctus-Dx® Syrup is specially designed to take care of dry, irritating, and allergic cough, post-operative cough, smoker’s cough, nocturnal cough and post nasal drip.
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide in Grilinctus-Dx® Syrup is non-opioid antitussive drug, which has a central action on the cough centre in the medulla, raising the threshold for the cough reflex. It targets the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, particularly in the brainstem, which are crucial for the cough reflex regulation which in turn reduces the intensity as well as the frequency of cough.
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate (CPM)– a time-tested potent antihistamine, which relieves the allergic component present in the cough. The incidence of drowsiness is minimal post chlorpheniramine maleate use. Chlorpheniramine maleate does not have significant anti-cholinergic activity.
Indications
Grilinctus-Dx® Syrup is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of non-productive cough; particularly dry, irritating and allergic, post-operative, smoker's and nocturnal cough.
