About Grilinctus-CD Syrup 100 ml

Grilinctus-CD Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’, primarily used to treat a dry cough associated with a common cold or upper respiratory allergies. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs: a Dry cough and a chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucus or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Grilinctus-CD Syrup 100 ml is a combination of two drugs: Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Codeine (cough suppressant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Codeine belongs to the class of cough suppressants that block the μ-opioid receptor in the brain that produces cough, thereby decreasing the urge to cough.
