How CGX-Tus Syrup works

CGX-Tus Syrup is a combination of dextromethorphan hydrobromide, menthol, and levocetirizine hydrochloride. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Levocetirizine hydrochloride is antihistaminic medication that treats allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) in the body. Menthol works by producing a mild anesthetic action that relieves irritation and provides cooling sensation.

FAQs

Does CGX-Tus Syrup make you feel sleepy?

CGX-Tus Syrup is a non-drowsy antihistamine which makes it less likely to make you feel sleepy compared to other antihistamines or antiallergics.

How long does the common cold last?

Symptoms of a common cold usually appear 2 or 3 days after getting exposed to the virus. People who have colds are contagious for the 3 or 4 days after the first appearance of the symptoms and remain contagious for up to 3 weeks. Most colds clear up within a week but some may stay for 2-3 weeks as well.

Are the common cold and flu the same?

No, the common cold and flu are not the same. As both cold and flu have similar symptoms, it is difficult to differentiate these two depending on their symptoms. Flu, in general, is more intense than cold and usually presents with fever, chills, moderate to severe body aches, headaches, and other complications. Colds are milder than flu with more likely to have a blocked nose or a runny nose.

What foods should I avoid if I have common cold?

If you have a cold, avoid certain foods, such as caffeinated beverages and alcohol, as they may dehydrate you and lower your immune system. You should also stay away from fried, processed, and oily food, dairy products, and excess sugar as they aggravate the cold.

How to know if your cold is viral or bacterial?

Most colds occur due to viral infection and usually last for around a week. The common cold due to a viral infection affects your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Though most viral infections in cold are harmless, they may develop into secondary bacterial infections, such as sinus infections.
