Piriton Expectorant Linctus for Children 100ml: Fast Relief for Chesty Coughs
Piriton Expectorant Linctus for Children is a trusted oral syrup specifically formulated to relieve chesty (productive) coughs and respiratory congestion in kids. Manufactured in Nigeria by Evans Medical PLC, this pediatric formula helps clear stubborn mucus and soothe the airways, allowing your child to breathe more easily.
How It Works: Triple Action Formula
This expectorant combines active ingredients that work together to tackle cough and catarrh symptoms:
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate (1mg): An effective antihistamine that reduces allergic triggers, helps dry up catarrh, and provides relief from runny noses.
- Ammonium Chloride (50mg) & Sodium Citrate (22mg): These act as expectorants. They help thin and loosen thick phlegm (mucus) in the chest, making it easier for children to cough it up and clear their respiratory tract.
Benefits for Your Child
- Clears Chest Congestion: Effectively thins mucus to relieve that "heavy" feeling in the chest.
- Soothes Colds and Catarrh: Provides fast relief from common cold symptoms.
- Formulated for Kids: Adjusted concentrations to ensure safety for children between 2 and 12 years.
