Tussi-12DS	Quote \| Reply

Hi, I am giving my son a prescription called Tussi-12DS for cough.
I am wondering what other things it treats? Stuffy nose, runny nose,
sneezing, etc? I can find info about Tussi-12D and Tussi-12S, are
these the same as Tussi-12DS? thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe you hit on every thing it covers. I found this when looking
for the basic drug Tussi: "...is a antihistamine that relieves
runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. This product is not intended to
treat chronic cough caused by smoking, asthma, emphysema, heart
failure, or problems in which there is a large amount of phlegm." I
believe by combining the "D" and the "S" that this means the drug
covers more symptoms that just either by themselve. Of course, you
could always call your local pharmacy and they would be able to tell
you exactly... :P

Hey ellen4566, how are you doing?

Tussi-12 D suspension is used to relieve cough and congestion due to colds, acute respiratory
infections, including bronchitis and allergies and may help to relieve sneezing and itching associated with allergies. Tussi-12 S is used to decrease the symptoms caused by colds or allergies.

Tussi-12 D tablets is used to relieve cough and congestion due to colds, acute respiratory infections, including bronchitis and allergies and may help to relieve sneezing and itching associated with allergies. Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children.

Best wishes,

the "S" in the name means suspension, not symptoms. the drug tussi-12D is available in a tablet form, and "S" indicates to the pharmacist that the drug needs to be given in a liquid suspension. Not that is covers more symptoms. the "D" portion reffers to the decongestant portion of the medication.

According to Web MD, this medication (tussi-12D S) is a cough suppressant/decongestant/antihistamine combination used for the relief of cough due to the common cold, asthma, or bronchitis.
