Tussistop Antitussive 20 Tablets

Description:

Tussistop Antitussive 20 Tablets is a prescription antitussive medicine formulated to relieve dry, non-productive cough. Each tablet contains levodropropizine 60 mg, a centrally acting cough suppressant that reduces the cough reflex without causing significant drowsiness in most patients. It is suitable for adults and older children as directed by a physician and is commonly used in the management of acute and chronic dry cough associated with respiratory tract infections and irritations.

Indications:

• Symptomatic treatment of dry, non-productive cough.
• Relief of irritating cough not associated with significant mucus production.
• Cough associated with upper respiratory tract infections (such as pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis) when a cough suppressant is indicated.
• Management of persistent, troublesome cough that interferes with sleep or daily activities, as advised by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levodropropizine – 60 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet base, binders, fillers, coating agents, etc.) in the available information (For full ingredient information, 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.
• Adults: The usual dose is typically 60 mg levodropropizine (1 tablet) up to 3 times daily, at intervals of about 6–8 hours. Exact dosing should follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Adolescents and children: Use only if prescribed by a pediatrician. Dosage and suitability depend on age and body weight. Do not give to children without medical advice.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from dry, non-productive cough by reducing the cough reflex.
• Helps improve comfort and sleep quality by decreasing nighttime coughing episodes.
