Evans Piriton Children Triple Action Expectorant Linctus 100ml
Evans Piriton Children Triple Action Expectorant Linctus is a specialized oral syrup designed to provide relief from respiratory symptoms in children. It is particularly effective for chesty ("wet") coughs, catarrh, and the general discomfort of the common cold. Manufactured by Evans Medical PLC in Nigeria, this linctus combines an antihistamine with expectorant agents to clear the airways and soothe irritation.
Targeted Relief for Catarrh and Chesty Coughs
This "Triple Action" formula is formulated to address three major symptoms of respiratory distress:
- Drying Catarrh: The antihistamine component helps stop runny nose and sneezing.
- Loosening Phlegm: It acts as an expectorant to thin thick mucus in the chest, making it easier for the child to cough it up.
- Soothing the Throat: It reduces irritation caused by persistent coughing and catarrh.
