About Neo Leekuf Tablet

Neo Leekuf Tablet belongs to a class of medication called cough and cold preparations, primarily used to treat a dry cough. Coughing (whether dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants, such as allergens, mucus, or smoke, from the airways and preventing infection. There are two types, dry cough and 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 the airways.

Neo Leekuf Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant), and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (cough suppressant). Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine hydrochloride helps in shrinking the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce a cough. Together, they help to provide relief from a cough.

Take Neo Leekuf Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you should take Neo Leekuf Tablet , based on your medical condition.
