Leerex Syrup 100ml Description

Leerex Syrup is a cough medication. Managing the symptoms of dry cough in upper respiratory tract infections like the common cold and allergies are the primary uses of Leerax syrup. Cough helps to ex

pel the irritants such as dust, mucous, allergens, bacteria, etc., to clear the airway and prevent infection. Leerex Syrup consists of two main components: chlorpheniramine and codeine. Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines, which helps in reducing allergy reactions. Codeine is a narcotic cough suppressant. The mode of action of Leerax syrup is to block the signals responsible for the stimulus that lead to cough. This syrup can cause a few common side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, etc. It is better to drink a lot of lukewarm water to help loosen the mucus and prevent dehydration. Causing decreased sweating and increasing the chances of a heat stroke is one of the side effects of Leerax syrup. This medicine is not recommended for children. Do not take this medicine with others that cause sleepiness. It is a habit-forming medicine. It can also cause dependency. Suddenly stopping this syrup can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, high heart rate, irritation, etc.
