Relief of moderate to severe cough associated with respiratory tract infections (when other cough suppressants have failed).

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Consult with your doctor.
Dosage must be adjusted based on age and weight, always under strict medical supervision.
