Composition

Each 5 ml of syrup contains:

• Citric Acid 31.25 mg

Therapeutic Class

• Cough Suppressant

Indications

Lemonika Syrup 31.25 mg/5 ml is indicated for:

• Management of dry, non-productive cough

• Relief from throat irritation and discomfort associated with coughing

• Symptomatic treatment of cough due to minor throat and upper respiratory tract irritation

Pharmacology

Lemonika Syrup exerts its action primarily through the demulcent properties of Citric Acid. Citric Acid helps relieve irritation of the mucous membranes of the throat by forming a protective soothing film over the inflamed surface. This protective layer reduces the sensitivity of the throat to irritants, thereby decreasing the cough reflex and providing symptomatic relief.

After oral administration, Citric Acid is readily absorbed. It is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and is widely distributed throughout various tissues. Its well-established safety profile makes it suitable for short-term management of dry cough when used as directed.

• Children 1–5 years: 5 ml up to 4 times daily

• Children 6–12 years: 10 ml up to 4 times daily

The syrup should be measured using a proper measuring cup or spoon to ensure accurate dosing.
