Tusstat 15mg/5ml Syrup is used to treat a dry cough. Coughing is a natural reflex that helps remove irritants such as allergens, mucus, and smoke from the airways and prevents infections. A dry cough is irritating and does not produce mucus, whereas a wet cough generates mucus or phlegm, which helps clear the airways, typically due to infections or irritation.

Tusstat 15mg/5ml Syrup contains Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, which works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough.
