TUSQ D LOZENGES

TUSQ D Lozenges is a medicated throat lozenge used to provide relief from dry cough, throat irritation, and soreness associated with infections or allergies. It contains Amylmetacresol (0.6mg) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (5mg), which help soothe throat discomfort and suppress persistent dry cough.

Amylmetacresol acts as an antiseptic that helps reduce microbial growth in the throat, while Dextromethorphan works as a cough suppressant that helps control the urge to cough. The lozenge slowly dissolves in the mouth and provides localized soothing action for irritated throat tissues.

TUSQ D Lozenges may help reduce throat dryness, irritation, and repeated coughing episodes, improving comfort during speaking and swallowing.
