Gorentik Sugar Free Cough Syrup 100 ml belongs to a class of medications called 'expectorants' primarily used to treat 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) produces mucous or sputum.

Gorentik Sugar Free Cough Syrup 100 ml contains Dextromethorphan, Chlorpheniramine, Guaiphenesin and Ammonium chloride. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the urge to cough. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Guaiphenesin and Ammonium chloride increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus and help to remove it from the airways. Together, Gorentik Sugar Free Cough Syrup 100 ml helps provides relief from cough.
