Скачать или смотреть Antitussive Syrups: Uses, Types, and Safety of Cough Suppressants

Antitussive syrups are medications designed to suppress coughing by acting on the brain's cough center or by numbing cough receptors in the respiratory tract. They are commonly used to relieve acute coughs caused by colds, bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. The most effective and widely used antitussive ingredient is dextromethorphan, though codeine-containing syrups are also used with caution due to addiction risks. Antitussives are not recommended for productive coughs with mucus, as they may cause mucus buildup. Side effects can include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and in rare cases, allergic reactions or respiratory distress. It is important to follow dosing instructions carefully and consult a healthcare provider before use, especially in children and those taking other medications. Antitussive syrups are available both over-the-counter and by prescription, with various brand names and formulations to suit different needs.
