What is Ratio Cotridin Teva Syrup 100ml

Ratio Cotridin Teva Syrup 100ml combination medication is used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies, or other breathing illnesses (such as sinusitis, bronchitis). Ratio Cotridin Teva Syrup 100ml relieves watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat, runny nose, and sneezing. Codeine is an opioid cough suppressant (antitussive) that affects a certain part of the brain, reducing the urge to cough.

Opioid cough suppressants should not be used by children younger than 18 years. Children are at higher risk for serious (even fatal) side effects, especially breathing problems. Talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of this medication. Cough-and-cold products do not cure colds. Cough due to a common cold often does not need to be treated with medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms, such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier, or saline nose drops/spray.

How does Ratio Cotridin Works

This combination product contains 3 medications: codeine, triprolidine, and pseudoephedrine.
Codeine belongs to the group of medications called narcotic analgesics and cough suppressants.

Triprolidine belongs to the group of medications called antihistamines, and helps to relieve sneezing and runny nose.

Pseudoephedrine belongs to the group of medications called nasal decongestants, and reduces nasal congestion.

Codeine – triprolidine – pseudoephedrine is used to treat coughs related to inflamed tissues in the nose and throat. It works by reducing inflammation in the nose and throat tissues and decreasing cough.
