Pectal Cough suppressant and Expectorant Syrup - 120ml

Pectal is a high-quality expectorant syrup specifically formulated to relieve chesty (productive) coughs. Unlike simple suppressants that only stop the urge to cough, Pectal acts as a "mucus thinner." It helps break down the viscosity of phlegm in your airways, making it easier for your body to expel it through coughing.

Key Product Details:

Active Ingredient: Guaifenesin (100mg per 5ml).

Volume: 120ml.

Flavor: Pleasant orange or caramel-cream flavor for better palatability.

Classification: Expectorant / Cough and Cold Medication.

How Pectal Works: The Science of Relief

The primary active ingredient in Pectal is Guaifenesin. It works by increasing the volume and reducing the stickiness of respiratory tract secretions.

Loosening Mucus: It thins the thick phlegm trapped in the bronchi.

Ciliary Action: By thinning the mucus, it enhances the natural movement of the "cilia" (tiny hairs in the airway) to push the mucus out.

Chest Decongestion: This process effectively clears the airways, reducing that "heavy" feeling in the chest.

Benefits of Using Pectal Syrup

Effective for Productive Coughs: Specifically targets coughs that produce phlegm.

Soothes the Throat: Its syrup formulation provides a protective layer that calms throat irritation.

Improves Breathing: By clearing out mucus, it helps you breathe more freely during a cold or flu.

Rapid Absorption: The liquid formula is absorbed quickly into the system for faster relief.

Dosage and How to Use

For the best results, always follow the guidance of your pharmacist or the instructions on the packaging. General dosage guidelines for Pectal 100mg/5ml include:

Adults and Children (12+ years): 10ml to 20ml every 4 hours. Do not exceed 2400mg (120ml) in 24 hours.

Children (6–12 years): 5ml to 10ml every 4 hours.

Children (2–6 years): 2.5ml to 5ml every 4 hours (Consult a doctor first).

Under 2 years: Not recommended unless specifically prescribed by a pediatrician.

Tip: Drink plenty of water while taking Pectal to help the Guaifenesin thin the mucus even further.

Precautions and Side Effects

While Pectal is generally safe and available Over-the-Counter (OTC), keep the following in mind:

Common Side Effects: Occasionally, users may experience mild nausea, dizziness, or a headache.

Consult a Doctor if: Your cough lasts more than 7 days, is accompanied by a high fever, or if you have a chronic condition like asthma or emphysema.

Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to Guaifenesin or any of the syrup's inactive ingredients (like Sorbitol).
