Notussil Oral Suspension 120 ml

Description:

Notussil Oral Suspension 120 ml is a prescription cough medicine containing cloperastine, a centrally acting antitussive used to relieve dry, irritating, and persistent cough. It provides effective cough suppression similar to codeine but without narcotic effects, and also has mild antihistaminic and smooth muscle–relaxing (papaverine-like) properties. This oral suspension is suitable for adults and children as directed by a physician and is commonly used in the management of non-productive cough associated with respiratory tract infections and throat irritation.

Indications:

• Symptomatic treatment of dry, non-productive cough.
• Relief of persistent, irritating cough that interferes with sleep or daily activities.
• Cough associated with upper respiratory tract infections when expectoration is minimal.
• Night-time cough control to improve rest and comfort, as advised by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Cloperastine fumarate 20 mg/5 ml oral suspension (concentration based on product name: NOTUSSIL 20MG/5ML SUSP. 120 ml).
• Other excipients: Full excipient list (e.g., sweeteners, flavoring agents, preservatives, suspending agents) is not available in the provided information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the product label.
• Typical dosing (for general reference only – confirm with physician and local leaflet):
  • Adults and adolescents: Dose and frequency to be determined by the physician according to age, weight, and severity of symptoms.
  • Children: Pediatric dose must be strictly determined by a pediatrician based on age and body weight.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
• Measure the dose using a proper measuring spoon or oral syringe; do not use household teaspoons.
• Can generally be taken with or without food, unless your doctor advises otherwise.

• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Duration of treatment should be as short as possible and limited to the period of symptomatic cough, as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective suppression of dry, non-productive cough by acting on the cough center in the brain.
• Helps reduce night-time coughing, improving sleep quality and overall comfort.
• Offers antitussive action similar to codeine but without narcotic dependence or typical opioid side effects.
• Additional mild antihistaminic and smooth muscle–relaxing effects may help reduce throat irritation and bronchial spasm associated with cough.
