How Does it Work
Dextromethorphan HBr 20 mg / Menthol 15 mg/Ascorbic Acid 500 mg Sorbitol Lollipop Base is a combination of active ingredients formulated to treat general cough and cold symptoms. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant with a wide margin of safety. It works by blocking the action of the brain's cough centre and reduces the urge to cough. Menthol, a derivative of peppermint oil, is an analgesic that has a cooling effect and can reduce the tingling sensation associated with some throat irritation. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the body against oxidative stress. It also helps to maintain healthy immunity and may help reduce inflammation associated with cold and flu symptoms. Sorbitol, which is the basis for the lollipop, is a sugar alcohol which acts as a humectant, helping to lubricate the mucous membranes in the throat and reduce irritation. Combined, these ingredients work to suppress a cough, cool the throat, reduce irritation, and protect the body against cold and flu related symptoms.
