Leekuf-SF Syrup 100 ml

Question 1

How does Leekuf-SF Syrup 100 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Leekuf-SF Syrup 100 ml contains Guaiphenesin, Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, Phenylephrine hydrochloride, and Chlorpheniramine maleate. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and removes it from the airways. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, it decreases the need to cough. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thus, it provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
