Thiocodin 100ml Syrup: Effective Relief for Dry, Persistent Coughs

Thiocodin 100ml is a medicinal syrup combining two active ingredients: codeine phosphate hemihydrate (15 mg per 10 ml) and sulfogaiacol (300 mg per 10 ml). Manufactured by UNIA, it is specifically formulated to suppress dry, non-productive coughs while helping clear respiratory secretions.

Codeine acts as a cough suppressant by calming the cough reflex in the brain, while sulfogaiacol works as an expectorant to loosen mucus and ease its removal. This dual-action formula provides soothing relief from irritating, dry coughs associated with colds or minor respiratory infections.

Important Safety Note: Thiocodin contains codeine, an opioid. In many regions, codeine-containing cough medicines are restricted or available only on prescription due to risks of dependence and side effects. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist before use and follow local regulations.

How Thiocodin 100ml Works

The codeine component reduces the urge to cough, allowing rest and recovery. Sulfogaiacol supports the natural clearance of airways. Together, they address both the symptom (cough) and mucus management for more comfortable breathing.

When to Consult a Doctor

See a healthcare professional if your cough persists longer than 3–7 days, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, chest pain, wheezing, or shortness of breath. Thiocodin is for symptomatic relief only and does not treat the underlying cause.

Thiocodin 100ml Syrup remains a trusted option for short-term management of troublesome dry coughs when used responsibly under professional guidance.
