About Rapitus Syrup

Rapitus Syrup is used to treat dry cough. 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) means mucous or sputum is produced to clear your airways.

Rapitus Syrup consists of Levodropropizine (cough suppressant) as its active ingredient, which belongs to the cough suppressant class and works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain.
