Description:
Pholcodine Linctus 10 mg/5 ml 200 ml is a cough suppressant syrup formulated to provide temporary relief from dry, irritating, non‑productive coughs often associated with colds, flu and upper respiratory tract irritation. It works by suppressing the cough reflex through action on the central nervous system, helping the throat and chest to relax and reducing the urge to cough.
