Cough Suppressants And Expectorants, CombinationsIndication Dosage
Cough suppressants and expectorants are two different types of medications that are often used to treat coughs.
Cough suppressants work by blocking the cough reflex, which can help reduce coughing. They are commonly used to treat dry, hacking coughs that do not produce mucus or phlegm.
Generics May be in Cough Suppressants:
- Dextromethorphan
- Codeine
- Benzonatate
- Diphenhydramine
Expectorants, on the other hand, work by thinning and loosening mucus or phlegm in the airways, making it easier to cough up. They are commonly used to treat coughs that are accompanied by congestion and mucus.
Generics May be in Cough Expectorants:
- Guaifenesin
- Ipecacuanha
- Ammonium chloride
- Potassium iodide
- Ambroxol
In some cases, a combination of a cough suppressant and an expectorant may be used to treat coughs that have both dry and productive components. This can help relieve coughing while also making it easier to clear mucus from the airways.
