How Tuspel Syrup works

Tuspel Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Citric Acid, Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride and Menthol. Citric Acid is a natural substance that helps relieve mild cough. Diphenhydramine is an antiallergic which relieves cough associated with allergies by blocking a chemical messenger, histamine. Ammonium Chloride is an expectorant which works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

Quick tips

Tuspel 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. Use a proper measuring cup or spoon to measure the dosage.
In general, most coughs do not last more than 2 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this then it's better to see your doctor.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers or asthma.
Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications, e.g., anti-depressants.
