About HH Linctus Junior Syrup Alcohol Free

HH Linctus Junior Syrup Alcohol Free is used to treat cough due to runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation. 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, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum. 

HH Linctus Junior Syrup Alcohol Free is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorphenamine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  Dextromethorphan hydrobromide blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Together, HH Linctus Junior Syrup Alcohol Free helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms. 

Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration of HH Linctus Junior Syrup Alcohol Free based on your medical condition.
