How Does It Work?

• Natural substances like Histamine released in the body are responsible for allergies like sneezing or runny nose. Chlorpheniramine blocks the effect of the substances and provides relief from the common cold.
• There are specific areas in the brain (cough centre), which, when activated, produce coughing. Dextromethorphan affects and deactivates them, helps to relieve cough.

Interactions with other medicines

• Protussa Cough syrup must not be taken with a medicine called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) because it causes serotonin syndrome which is a life-threatening condition that occurs due to a build-up of an excessive amount of serotonin in the body. In serotonin syndrome, a person may experience high body temperature, high blood pressure, fast heart rate, excitability, tremor (shakiness) and sweating. In such a situation, patients must rush to a nearby hospital.
• Protussa Cough syrup must be used cautiously with other medicines like Codeine, Hydrocodone (used for cough) that cause drowsiness. Alcohol, Marijuana, medicines to treat mental illness (Alprazolam, Lorazepam, Zolpidem, etc.), muscle-relaxing medicines ( Carisoprodol, Cyclobenzaprine), other antihistaminic medicines (Cetrizine, Diphenhydramine, etc.) must be consumed with caution.
