How Ushnol Cough Syrup works

Cough syrups typically work by suppressing the cough reflex (antitussives), loosening and thinning mucus (expectorants/mucolytics), and/or reducing allergy-related irritation (antihistamines). The exact mechanism depends on the active ingredients in the formulation.

Shake well before use. Measure the dose with a cup/spoon and take by mouth as directed by a doctor. Can be taken with or without food; taking after food may reduce gastric discomfort. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and avoid using multiple cough/cold products together unless advised.
