Prenoxdiazine

Introduction

Prenoxdiazine is an antitussive (cough suppressant) medicine mainly used to treat dry, irritating cough. It helps reduce the cough reflex without causing drowsiness, making it suitable for day-time use. Prenoxdiazine works locally on the respiratory tract to calm irritated airways and control persistent coughing. It is often prescribed in conditions where cough is non-productive and disturbing daily activities or sleep. This medicine is commonly available in tablet and syrup forms and should be taken as advised by a doctor for best results and safety.

Uses of Prenoxdiazine

• Treatment of dry and non-productive cough
• Relief from throat irritation–related coughing

How Prenoxdiazine Works

Prenoxdiazine works by reducing the sensitivity of cough receptors present in the respiratory tract. It suppresses the cough reflex at the peripheral level without affecting the brain’s cough center. By calming irritated airways, it helps control frequent and persistent dry cough while allowing normal breathing. This targeted action makes it effective and less sedating compared to some other cough suppressants.
