Selgon - Pleasant Cough Relief - 20 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Selgon - Pleasant Cough Relief - 20 mg 20 Tablets is a prescription antitussive medicine formulated to provide effective relief from dry, irritating, and non-productive cough. Each tablet contains pipazethate, a centrally acting cough suppressant that works on the medullary cough center in the brain to reduce the cough reflex without causing dependence. Manufactured by EIPICO, Selgon tablets are designed for short-term symptomatic treatment of cough in adults and older children under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Symptomatic treatment of dry, non-productive cough.
• Relief of persistent, irritating cough not associated with significant mucus production.
• Cough that interferes with sleep or daily activities, as assessed by a healthcare professional.
• Adjunctive therapy when suppression of the cough reflex is clinically required (e.g., after certain procedures), under medical advice.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Pipazethate citrate – 20 mg per tablet (antitussive agent acting centrally on the medullary cough center).
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet fillers, binders, colorants, preservatives) are present but specific excipients and their concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as directed by a physician or pharmacist. The exact dose and duration should be individualized based on age, clinical condition, and severity of cough.
• Adults: Commonly 1 tablet (20 mg) taken several times daily as prescribed. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by your doctor.
• Adolescents and children: Dosage must be strictly determined by a pediatrician; do not administer to children without medical advice.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. Can generally be taken with or without food, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• Do not use for prolonged periods without medical supervision. If cough persists for more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache, seek medical advice.
• Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides targeted suppression of dry, non-productive cough by acting centrally on the medullary cough center.
• Helps reduce coughing fits that disturb sleep, promoting more restful nights.
• Improves comfort in patients with persistent, irritating cough, supporting better daily functioning.
• May be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for cough under medical supervision, helping to optimize overall respiratory comfort.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Do not self-medicate, especially in children, elderly patients, or those with chronic diseases.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to pipazethate or any component of the formulation.
• Not recommended for use in productive (chesty) cough where mucus needs to be cleared, such as in some cases of bronchitis or pneumonia, unless specifically advised by a doctor.
• Use with caution in patients with respiratory insufficiency, chronic respiratory diseases, or conditions where suppression of the cough reflex may be harmful.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. The safety of pipazethate in pregnancy and lactation should be carefully evaluated by a healthcare professional.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter cough and cold preparations, sedatives, or central nervous system depressants, to avoid potential interactions.
• May cause drowsiness or dizziness in some individuals. If affected, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform tasks requiring alertness.

• In rare cases, central nervous system effects (such as marked sedation) may occur, particularly at higher doses or in sensitive individuals.
