Tussalyte-XP Drop


Product introduction

Tussalyte-XP Drop is a medicine used to treat a wet cough (cough with mucus) in children. It helps in thinning the mucus by increasing its water content. This relieves throat irritation and clears congestion, enabling easy breathing for the child.

Give Tussalyte-XP Drop to your child orally, with or without food. You may be required to give this medicine to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon your child’s clinical condition and the severity of the illness. Do not discontinue the medication on your own, even if your child begins to feel better. Continue giving the medicine until the prescribed course is complete. Avoid exceeding the prescribed dose for quicker relief, as it may lead to unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition. If your child vomits soon after taking Tussalyte-XP Drop, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose.


Common side effects of Tussalyte-XP Drop include headache, nausea, and diarrhea. If any of the side effects persist or worsen, consult your child's doctor immediately. Consult your child's doctor before using this medicine for an extended period. Check the medicine label thoroughly, and never combine this medicine with other cold and flu medicines, as that may lead to unwanted interactions unless your doctor suggests it.


Narrate your child’s complete medical history to the doctor, including any previous episode of respiratory illness, allergy, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, sinus issues, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child's overall treatment.

Benefits of Tussalyte XP Drop

In Treatment of Cough with mucus

Tussalyte-XP Drop helps gently soothe and relieve your child’s cough. It loosens thick mucus by increasing the water level of the mucus, thereby making it easier to cough out. This makes breathing easy and reduces the frequency of coughing. In addition to medication, having your child drink lukewarm water and gargle with warm salt water may help relieve symptoms.

How to use Tussalyte XP Drop

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a marked dropper and take it as directed. Tussalyte-XP Drop may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Tussalyte XP Drop works

Tussalyte-XP Drop contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways. Together, they offer overall relief from the cough.

FAQs

My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Tussalyte-XP Drop?

No, Tussalyte-XP Drop is advised for the treatment of wet cough. It aims to expel the mucus from the airway tract, thereby relieving your child from throat irritation and congestion and rendering him a soothing effect. Whereas, for a dry cough, cough suppressants are a better option. So, it will be wise to ask your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

What if my child takes too much Tussalyte-XP Drop?

An overdose or prolonged intake of Tussalyte-XP Drop may cause serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excess salivation. Give this medicine to your child exactly as prescribed in terms of dose, timing, and method. Do not stop the medication suddenly, even if your child starts feeling better, as abrupt withdrawal may worsen their condition.

My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?

Avoid giving your child more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless prescribed by the doctor. If unsure, always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.

Can I give my cough medicine to my child?

Never give your child the medicines that have been recommended for use by adults. Children should only be given the medicines that have been formulated for them, or else it may cause unwanted side effects. Check the label of the medicine properly before giving it to your child. Follow the prescribed dose strictly.

How should Tussalyte-XP Drop be stored?

Tussalyte-XP Drop should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Additionally, store all medicines out of children's reach and sight to prevent accidental intake.
