How Piritexyl Syrup works

Piritexyl Cough Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine, Ammonium Chloride and Menthol. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of cough centre in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Ammonium Chloride is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Menthol is an organic compound which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves minor throat irritation.

Piritexyl Cough Syrup is prescribed to get relief from cough.
Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication.
Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended.
In general, most coughs do not last more than 2-3 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this then it's better to see your doctor.
