Pine wood codiene linctus 200ml

Description

Pinewood Codeine Linctus is a pharmacy-grade oral solution traditionally used for the short-term relief of dry, irritating, non-productive coughs. Formulated by Pinewood Healthcare, it contains Codeine Phosphate, a mild opioid known for its cough-suppressant (antitussive) properties.

This linctus helps soothe persistent coughs by calming the cough reflex in the brain, providing smoother breathing and improved comfort—especially at night when coughing becomes disruptive.

What Pinewood Codeine Linctus Is Used For

Pinewood Codeine Linctus is intended for:

• Short-term relief of dry, tickly, or unproductive coughs

• Night-time cough suppression

• Reducing throat irritation caused by persistent coughing

• Providing temporary calmness in the respiratory airways

It is not designed for chesty or mucus-producing coughs, as these require medicines that help clear phlegm.

How It Works

Codeine works as a central cough suppressant. Instead of treating the lungs directly, it acts on the brain’s cough center to:

• Decrease the urge to cough

• Reduce throat irritation

• Promote restful sleep

• Calm persistent, unproductive coughing

Because it works on the central nervous system, Pinewood Codeine Linctus should be used only under proper guidance.
