RESILIXER Syrup
Resilixer Syrup is a medication that combines two powerful ingredients—Levodropropizine and Chlorpheniramine. It is primarily prescribed for treating dry cough (which is tickly and does not produce thick mucus) and chesty or wet cough (which involves the production of mucus or sputum to help clear the airways).
Chemical Class: Antitussives, Antihistamines
Mode of Action:
Levodropropizine works by inhibiting the afferent pathways that trigger the cough reflex, acting directly on the peripheral nervous system. Chlorpheniramine, on the other hand, blocks the action of histamine, a substance that causes allergic reactions.
Habit-forming:
No habit-forming tendencies have been reported for this medication.
