About Torex Cough Syrup

Torex Cough Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Additionally, Torex Cough Syrup may also be used in conditions such as dry cough, smoker’s cough, whooping cough, chronic cough, and post-surgical cough. Coughing is the body’s way to clear irritants from the throat, lungs and airways.

Torex Cough Syrup contains Ammonium chloride, Diphenhydramine, Sodium citrate, and Terpin hydrate. Ammonium chloride and Terpin hydrate help in the removal of phlegm/mucus from the airways by decreasing its stickiness. Diphenhydramine blocks the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate helps in loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, thereby making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Together, Torex Cough Syrup provides relief from cough.

In some cases, Torex Cough Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhoea, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
