Product Description

Rapitus Plus Syrup Sugar Free is an oral cough preparation containing Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg/5 ml and Levodropropizine 30 mg/5 ml. It is manufactured by Macleods Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is intended primarily for relief of dry, non-productive cough, particularly when cough symptoms are accompanied by allergic symptoms.

Levodropropizine is a cough suppressant that reduces the cough reflex, while Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that helps reduce allergy-related symptoms. The sugar-free formulation may be useful where a sugar-free syrup formulation is preferred. Use Rapitus Plus only as directed by your doctor.

How It Works

Rapitus Plus Syrup Sugar Free contains two active ingredients with complementary actions. Levodropropizine acts mainly on the peripheral cough pathways to suppress the cough reflex and reduce dry coughing. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, helping reduce allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching and watery eyes. Together, these ingredients can help manage dry cough when allergic symptoms are also present.
