WOCKHARDT PROMETHAZINE CODEINE SYRUP PLAIN

WOCKHARDT PROMETHAZINE CODEINE SYRUP PLAIN is a premium, prescription-strength oral solution formulated for effective relief from severe cough, throat irritation, and upper respiratory tract symptoms. Manufactured by Wockhardt, a trusted name in global pharmaceuticals, this unflavored version of the iconic syrup is ideal for patients seeking relief without artificial additives or flavorings.

Combining two powerful ingredients—Promethazine Hydrochloride, an antihistamine, and Codeine Phosphate, a narcotic cough suppressant—this medication offers a dual-action formula that soothes the respiratory system and suppresses the cough reflex at its neurological source.

Whether you’re suffering from a persistent dry cough, seasonal allergies, or post-viral throat inflammation, this syrup provides fast-acting, dependable relief with the clinical backing of one of the world’s most respected pharmaceutical manufacturers.

What is Wockhardt Promethazine Codeine Syrup Plain Used For?

This syrup is designed to relieve symptoms associated with:

Dry, unproductive coughs
Cold or flu-related respiratory discomfort
Allergy-induced throat irritation
Post-nasal drip and congestion
Bronchial inflammation

The combination of promethazine and codeine works together to provide comprehensive symptom control—reducing inflammation, relaxing the bronchial muscles, and calming the nervous system’s urge to cough.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits

Promethazine HCl (6.25mg per 5mL): A first-generation antihistamine that blocks histamines, relieving sneezing, itching, and runny nose. It also offers mild sedative effects, promoting rest.
Codeine Phosphate (10mg per 5mL): A centrally acting opioid that suppresses the cough reflex in the brain’s medulla. It effectively soothes even chronic and painful coughing episodes.

Together, they provide targeted action with minimal side effects when used as directed.

Why Choose the ‘Plain’ Formula?

Many patients prefer Wockhardt Promethazine Codeine Syrup Plain because it contains no artificial flavors or unnecessary additives. The “plain” version is ideal for individuals who:

Have allergies to dyes or artificial flavors
Want a clean, neutral-tasting medication
Need a prescription-grade product for serious symptoms
Prefer a classic, original formula trusted by medical professionals

This version still provides all the powerful benefits of Wockhardt’s flavored formulas—minus the sweeteners and coloring agents.
