Effective Nighttime Relief for Chesty Cough and Congestion
Tuxil-N Adult Expectorant is a multi-action cough syrup formulated to provide relief from productive (chesty) coughs and symptoms of the common cold or allergies. Known as the "Nite Time Care" formula, it is specifically designed for adults and children over 12 years who need a restful night's sleep while managing respiratory distress.
Manufactured in Nigeria by Fidson Healthcare PLC, Tuxil-N combines multiple active components to target cough and catarrh from multiple angles.
How Tuxil-N Works
Tuxil-N acts as an expectorant, decongestant, and antihistamine:
- Expectorant Action: Ingredients like Ammonium Chloride and Sodium Citrate help to thin and loosen mucus (phlegm) in the airways, making it easier to cough up.
- Clearer Breathing: Helps to reduce swelling in the nasal passages, clearing "stuffiness" and bronchial congestion.
- Nite Time Support: Contains a first-generation antihistamine that helps manage runny nose and sneezing. Note that this component typically causes drowsiness, which helps you rest but means you should avoid driving or operating machinery after use.
- Soothing Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation to a sore or irritated throat.
Indications and Usage
Tuxil-N is ideal for:
- Productive (chesty) coughs with phlegm.
- Nasal and bronchial congestion.
- Symptoms of hay fever or upper respiratory allergies.
- Relief from runny nose and watery eyes.
Dosage Instructions
For adults and children above 12 years, the typical dose is 10ml (two teaspoonfuls) taken every 4 to 8 hours. It is most effective when the final dose is taken shortly before bedtime to ensure a cough-free rest. Always follow the dosage recommended by your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist.
