Tussacron-Plus Sugar Free Suspension is used to treat dry cough. It blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the need to cough. Also, it reduces mucus stickiness and clear airways. It works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage. Some people may experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, constipation, and drowsiness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Tussacron-Plus Sugar Free Suspension

Tussacron-Plus Sugar Free Suspension belongs to a class of medications called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat dry cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a 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 help clear your airways. 

Tussacron-Plus Sugar Free Suspension is a combination of three drugs, namely: Noscapine (cough suppressant), Ammonium chloride (expectorant), and Sodium citrate (mucolytic agent). Noscapine belongs to the cough suppressants class that blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the need to cough. Ammonium chloride belongs to the class of expectorants that reduce mucus stickiness and clear airways. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage.
