Productive Cough and Allergy Relief for Adults
Piriton Expectorant Linctus (Adult) is a trusted multi-action medicine formulated to provide relief from chesty (productive) coughs and accompanying allergic symptoms. Whether you are dealing with a common cold, bronchitis, or general upper respiratory tract irritation, this expectorant helps to clear your airways by thinning and loosening bronchial secretions (phlegm).
Dual Action Formula
This linctus combines two categories of active ingredients to ensure comprehensive respiratory comfort:
- Expectorants (Ammonium Chloride & Sodium Citrate): These salts act by thinning mucus in the nose and chest, making it easier to cough out and clear the lungs.
- Antihistamine (Chlorpheniramine Maleate): This component addresses allergic responses such as a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and throat irritation.
How to Use Piriton Expectorant Linctus
For adults and children over 12 years, the recommended dose is 5ml to 10ml (1–2 teaspoons) taken 3 to 4 times daily. It is advisable to use a proper measuring device for accurate dosage.
Why Choose Piriton Syrup?
In Nigeria, Piriton Expectorant is manufactured by Evans Baroque Limited and is a staple in many households for managing "chesty" coughs. Please note that due to the antihistamine content, this medicine typically causes drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after use.
