It relieves allergic symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, throat irritation, watery eyes and congestion or stuffiness. It also thins and loosens mucus in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out.

Tussprox LC Syrup is taken with or without in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, stomach upset, headache, tiredness, and loss of appetite. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. It can also cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.

How Tussprox LC Syrup works

Tussprox LC Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Levocetirizine, Ambroxol, Guaifenesin and Phenylephrine which relieve common cold symptoms. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) further helping in its removal from the airways. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
