Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup

Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup, made by Siza Labotries, is a cough suppressant (antitussive). Its active ingredient is Dextromethorphan, and it is used for dry, irritating cough.

Uses of Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup

Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup is used for short-term relief of a dry, tickly cough that does not bring up mucus, such as the cough that often follows a cold or flu. It eases the urge to cough so you can rest and sleep better. It does not treat the cause of the cough, and it is not suitable for chesty coughs where clearing phlegm is helpful.

How Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup works

Dextromethorphan acts on the cough centre in the brainstem and raises the threshold for coughing, so the cough reflex is triggered less easily. Although it is chemically related to opioids, at normal doses it does not relieve pain.

Possible side effects

Side effects with Torax Dm Syrup 120ml Syrup are uncommon at recommended doses, but may include:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Constipation

Seek urgent help for confusion, agitation, hallucinations, a racing heartbeat or difficulty breathing. See a doctor if your cough lasts more than three weeks, or you cough up blood, have chest pain or a high fever.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not take it within two weeks of using an MAOI antidepressant, and check with a doctor before combining it with SSRIs or other medicines that increase serotonin.
• It is not suitable for chesty coughs with phlegm, or for people with asthma or breathing problems unless a doctor advises it.
• Check the labels of other cough and cold products so you do not take more than one medicine containing dextromethorphan.
• Avoid alcohol, and do not drive if it makes you drowsy.
• Do not give it to young children without advice, and ask your pharmacist or doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
