Indications & Clinical Uses

Lemsip Cough For Chesty Cough Relief contains cetylpyridinium chloride and guaifenesin, which act on the respiratory tract to alleviate cough and mucus buildup.

  • Chesty cough: helps loosen and clear mucus from the airways.
  • Sore throat: provides antiseptic action to reduce throat irritation.
  • Mucus congestion: increases airway fluid secretion to facilitate expectoration.

How It Works

  • Cetylpyridinium chloride exerts an antiseptic effect by disrupting microbial cell membranes, reducing bacterial load in the oropharynx. Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant by stimulating airway fluid secretion and decreasing mucus viscosity, thereby promoting the clearance of secretions from the respiratory tract.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild stomach discomfort may occur.
  • Altered taste: a temporary metallic or bitter taste.
  • Mild throat irritation: transient soreness in the throat.
  • Dizziness: occasional light‑headed feeling.
  • Headache: mild headache reported by some users.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling.
  • Severe throat swelling: difficulty swallowing or breathing.
  • Anaphylaxis: rare but potentially life‑threatening reaction.
  • Persistent vomiting: prolonged vomiting beyond initial dose.
  • Respiratory distress: shortness of breath or wheezing.
