Faq For Medicine

Q1. What is the TUSSTANGY DX 15 Syrup?
It is a combination cough and cold drug that works as a cough suppressant, decongestant, and antihistamine to help with dry cough and cold/allergy symptoms.

Q2. Is this an antibiotic?
No, it just addresses the symptoms (cough, sneezing, runny nose), not the infection itself.

Q3. Is it safe for kids to take?
Not a good idea for kids under 5. Most of the time, cough and cold syrups like this one aren't given to kids under 2, and older kids should only use them with a doctor's permission.

This syrup is mostly for dry cough and allergy symptoms. If you have a cough with mucus, talk to your doctor.

 How It Works

• This syrup does three key things:
• Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide works on the cough center in the brain to stop the cough reflex.
• Phenylephrine HCl is a nasal decongestant that makes blood vessels in the nasal tissues smaller, which helps clear up congestion.
• Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that can aid with allergy symptoms such sneezing, a runny nose, and watery eyes.
• They work together to help lessen cough and ease cold and allergy symptoms.
