Tuscosed linctus syrup 125ml

One user report mentioned approximately 10mg codeine per 5ml, though exact strengths can vary slightly by formulation or manufacturer (often Carlisle Laboratories or similar). It is sometimes labeled as a “decongestant antihistamine syrup” for cough, cold, and sinus relief.

How It Works and Common Uses

Suppresses dry (non-productive) coughs.

Helps with coughs associated with upper respiratory tract issues, allergies, or congestion.

The diphenhydramine component often makes it drowsy, which is why it’s promoted for nighttime use to promote restful sleep.17ead7

It is not primarily for chesty (productive/mucus-heavy) coughs, though some descriptions mention soothing throat irritation.

Important Notes

Prescription or restricted status: In many places, products containing codeine require a prescription or are pharmacy-only due to its opioid nature and potential for dependence or misuse.

Side effects: Drowsiness (common), constipation, nausea, dizziness, or breathing issues in high doses or sensitive individuals. Avoid alcohol and driving/operating machinery.

Warnings: Not recommended for children (especially under 12 or those with certain conditions), people with respiratory problems (e.g., asthma), or those who are ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine. It can interact with other sedatives or medications.

Codeine-based cough syrups carry risks of habit formation if overused.

This is a general description based on available product information. Formulations can differ slightly by country or batch, so always check the label, package insert, or consult a pharmacist/doctor for the exact composition, dosage, and suitability for you—especially if you have underlying health conditions or take other medications
