Evans Piriton Children Triple Action Expectorant Linctus 100ml
Evans Piriton Children Triple Action Expectorant Linctus is a trusted, specially formulated syrup for children. It provides effective relief from productive ("chesty") coughs, catarrh, and symptoms of the common cold. Manufactured by Evans Baroque Limited in Nigeria, this linctus is designed to help your child breathe more easily by clearing mucus and soothing irritation.
Why Choose Piriton Triple Action?
Unlike standard cough syrups, the Triple Action formula targets three key areas of respiratory distress:
- Relieves Catarrh and Sneezing: The antihistamine action helps stop runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing.
- Loosens Chesty Cough: It acts as an expectorant to thin thick mucus (phlegm) in the chest.
- Clears the Airways: It breaks down catarrh in the throat and respiratory tract for faster relief.
Active Ingredients
Each 5ml dose contains:
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2mg): A powerful antihistamine for cold and allergy relief.
- Ammonium Chloride (100mg): An expectorant that helps loosen mucus from the lungs.
- Sodium Citrate (44mg): Works as a mild mucolytic to break down phlegm.
