About Leekuf Syrup 100 ml

Leekuf Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of respiratory medications called 'expectorant,' primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways. There are two types of coughs, namely dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum that helps clear the airways.

Leekuf Syrup 100 ml consists of Bromhexine (mucolytic), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), Ammonium chloride (irritant/expectorant). Bromhexine is a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous and makes it easier to cough out. Dextromethorphan belongs to the class of cough suppressants, which relieves cough by reducing cough receptor activity, thereby affecting signals in the brain that trigger the cough reflex. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that works by decreasing the stickiness of airway secretions and helps in their removal from the airways.
