    How TUSSTON SUPER STRAWBERRY FLAVOUR SYRUP Works

    TUSSTON SUPER STRAWBERRY FLAVOUR SYRUP contains ambroxol, chlorpheniramine maleate, dextromethorphan, phenylephrine, and menthol. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that manages the excess secretion of mucus; thus, it lowers the phlegm viscosity and improves the mucociliary transport of bronchial secretions. Thus, coughing helps remove the phlegm associated with respiratory diseases.

    Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks the effect of histamines (chemicals produced by the body in response to allergens) and manages the release of allergy-causing chemicals that are responsible for the symptoms of itching in the eyes, watery eyes, sneezing, running or blocked nose, and skin rashes.

    Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex in the central nervous system and helps relieve cough. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that helps to increase sinus cavity drainage and relieve nasal congestion. Menthol is added to the combination because of its cooling effect on the throat. Thus, TUSSTON SUPER STRAWBERRY FLAVOUR SYRUP eliminates phlegm and relieves cough, cold, and allergy symptoms.
