Rapitus Plus Syrup

Rapitus Plus Syrup belongs to a class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat dry cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. 

Rapitus Plus Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Levodropropizine (cough suppressant) and Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine). Levodropropizine belongs to the class of cough suppressants that works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough center in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
