About Solvin Cough Tablet

Solvin Cough Tablet is used to treat coughs associated with a 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.

Solvin Cough Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorphenamine maleate blocks the effects of histamine, reducing allergy symptoms. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide prevents cough by blocking signals from the brain’s cough centre.

In some cases, Solvin Cough Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as dry mouth/throat/nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, and restlessness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before starting Solvin Cough Tablet . Solvin Cough Tablet is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and any medications you are taking to rule out any potential side effects/interactions.
