Relief for Children's Cough and Catarrh
Tutolin Children Cough Syrup is a multi-action formula designed to provide symptomatic relief from coughs, nasal congestion, and catarrh in pediatric patients. Manufactured by Tuyil Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd in Nigeria, this syrup helps children breathe more easily and sleep better during recovery from colds or allergies.
How Tutolin Works
The syrup contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to target respiratory discomfort:
- Diphenhydramine HCl: An antihistamine that reduces runny nose and sneezing while providing mild sedation to help the child rest.
- Bromhexine HCl: A mucolytic that helps thin out thick mucus, making it easier to cough up.
- Ammonium Chloride: An expectorant that assists in clearing chest congestion.
- Menthol & Sodium Citrate: Provide a soothing effect on the throat.
Usage and Dosage
Tutolin is typically used for non-productive coughs and chest congestion associated with the common cold or hay fever.
- Always use the provided measuring device for accurate dosing.
- The dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the child's age and weight.
- If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, consult a GoMed pharmacist or a doctor.
Safety and Precautions
While generally effective, parents should be aware of potential side effects such as drowsiness or upset stomach. Ensure the bottle is stored in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
