How it works
Zerotuss XP Drop is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
Quick Tips
Give the medicine with food along with a glass of water to avoid stomach upset in your child. Practice self-care tips: give plenty of fluids, avoid dairy and caffeinated products, and ensure your child takes enough rest. A teaspoon of honey may also help to ease out a cough reflex. Ask your child to gargle with warm salt water as it eases the expelling of mucus. Ensure your child takes enough rest.

Frequently asked questions
Can I give Zerotuss XP Drop to my child who is less than 6 years of age?
Zerotuss XP Drop is suitable for children between 2 to 6 years of age. However, the recommended dose may vary depending on your child's body weight, and it's best to consult with your child's doctor for personalized guidance.
What if my child takes too much Zerotuss XP Drop?
Overdosing or prolonged use of Zerotuss XP Drop can lead to serious side effects, including seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. It's crucial to administer the medicine as directed by your child's doctor, and not to stop the treatment abruptly even if your child starts to feel better. Sudden withdrawal may worsen their condition. If you suspect an overdose, consult your child's doctor or a poison control center immediately.
How should Zerotuss XP Drop be stored?
Store Zerotuss XP Drop at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Additionally, keep all medications out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
Do not give your child more than one cough or cold medicine at a time without consulting their doctor. If you're unsure about the appropriate medication or dosage, always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never give your child a medicine intended for adults. Children should only receive medications formulated specifically for them, as adult medications may cause unwanted side effects. Always check the label and follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully.
My child is having a cough with no mucus. Can I give Zerotuss XP Drop to him?
Zerotuss XP Drop is designed to treat wet coughs by expelling mucus from the airway tract, relieving throat irritation and congestion. For dry coughs, cough suppressants may be a more suitable option. It's recommended to consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to ensure the most appropriate treatment for their specific condition.
