Medicine Description noscaphen
Noscaphen 120 ml syrup is a medication that combines guaifenesin, noscapine, and sodium citrate to provide relief from cough and irritation in the upper respiratory tract. Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant, thinning mucus in the airways, thereby facilitating its expulsion and alleviating coughing episodes. Noscapine serves as a cough suppressant, reducing the urge to cough by acting on the cough center in the brain without causing sedation. Sodium citrate helps to neutralize acidity and can soothe irritation in the throat, enhancing comfort during coughing. Together, these components work synergistically to alleviate cough symptoms, improve respiratory comfort, and support overall upper respiratory tract health.
