Loprecough Syrup

Loprecough Syrup

Description:

Loprecough Syrup 100 ml is a prescription cough medicine formulated with the mucolytic agent acetylcysteine and the antihistamine chlorpheniramine. It is designed to relieve productive (chesty) cough associated with respiratory conditions by thinning and loosening mucus while reducing allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Manufactured by ATCO Pharma, this oral syrup is suitable for adults and children as directed by a healthcare professional and is intended for short-term management of cough and upper respiratory tract symptoms.

Indications:

• Management of productive (chesty) cough associated with conditions such as acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory tract infections.
• Helps in thinning and loosening thick, sticky mucus to facilitate easier expectoration.
• Relief of allergy-related upper respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and watery or itchy eyes associated with colds or allergic rhinitis.
• Adjunctive therapy in respiratory conditions where mucus hypersecretion and cough are present.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Acetylcysteine – exact concentration per 5 ml is not available in the provided information. It is a mucolytic agent that breaks down mucus, making it less viscous and easier to expel.
• Chlorpheniramine (usually as chlorpheniramine maleate) – exact concentration per 5 ml is not available in the provided information. It is a first-generation antihistamine that helps reduce allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose.

• Children: Pediatric dosing must be strictly determined by a pediatrician according to age and weight. Do not administer to children without medical advice.
• Can generally be taken with or without food unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If stomach upset occurs, taking the syrup after food may be preferable.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredients.
• Do not use for longer than the period recommended by your doctor. If cough persists for more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by high fever, rash, or persistent headache, seek medical advice.
