Quick info

Tussnil Tablet is used to treat common cold symptoms like runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion or stuffiness, as well as relieving pain and fever. Tussnil Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine.

Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect or be affected by this medicine.

How it works

Tussnil Tablet is a combination of five medicines: Phenylpropanolamine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Guaifenesin, Paracetamol, and Bromhexine. Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Guaifenesin and Bromhexine help in the removal of mucus (phlegm) from the airways. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever.

Direction of use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Tussnil Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
