About Coscopin New Suspension

Coscopin New Suspension belongs to a class of medicines called expectorants used to provide relief from cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. 

Coscopin New Suspension is a combination of Noscapine (cough suppressant), Ammonium chloride (expectorant), and Sodium citrate (mucolytic agent). Noscapine belongs to the cough suppressants class that blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the need to cough. Ammonium chloride belongs to the class of expectorants that reduce mucus stickiness and clear airways. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage. 

Your doctor will recommend how often your child needs to take Coscopin New Suspension based on his/her medical condition. Sometimes, Coscopin New Suspension may cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, constipation, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please consult a doctor.

Use Coscopin New Suspension with caution in children with pre-existing respiratory failure or any other lung disease. If you are using any other prescription or non-prescription medicines for your child, inform your doctor.
