The components of Codistar Cough Syrup are as follows:

• Chlorpheniramine (4 MG): It is an antihistamine that helps relieve cough symptoms by blocking the action of histamine in the body. It reduces the urge to cough by decreasing the sensitivity of the cough reflex in the brain.
• Codeine (10 MG): It is an opioid cough suppressant that works by acting on the brain to reduce the intensity and frequency of coughing. It suppresses the cough reflex by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system, slowing down the transmission of signals that trigger coughing.

• Keep the syrup tightly closed in its original container.
• Store it at room temperature (15-25ºC), away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Avoid storing it in the bathroom or any area with high humidity.
• Please do not use the syrup beyond its expiration date, and discard any unused portion as directed by your doctor.

• Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support overall health and immune function.
• Allow yourself to take plenty of rest and prioritise getting sufficient sleep to aid in recovery and enhance the syrup’s effectiveness.
• Stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day. This can help thin mucus and ease congestion.
• Identify and avoid any known triggers or irritants that worsen your symptoms, such as smoke, allergens, or cold air.
