How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient quenches the urge to cough by paralyzing the cough center in the brain. It also occupies certain binding sites in our respiratory organs, preventing them from transmitting stimuli and making us cough constantly. To a small extent, the active ingredient numbs the nerve cells in the bronchial tubes and widens the airways. The substance also relaxes the muscles in the lungs.

Application

- Irritable cough
