About Tusq-D Cough Lozenges Orange

AMYLMETACRESOL+DEXTROMETHORPHAN HYDROBROMIDE belongs to the class of medications called ‘antitussives' used to treat dry cough associated with cold/flu, allergies, and throat irritation. A cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign material or irritants in the throat. Dry cough refers to a cough with no mucus (sputum) or secretions. A dry cough is mostly treated with cough suppressants and throat lozenges.

AMYLMETACRESOL+DEXTROMETHORPHAN HYDROBROMIDE is a combination of two medicines: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide and Amylmetacresol. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant. It acts by blocking the cough centre's action in the brain that is responsible for the cough reflex. Amylmetacresol is an antiseptic. It acts by stopping bacterial growth which causes mouth and throat infections. It provides relief from a sore throat which is usually accompanied by a dry cough.
