Piriton CS Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat dry cough. It provides temporary relief from cough caused by throat irritation, sneezing, and runny nose. The syrup works by reducing activity in the brain’s cough center and by blocking the effects of histamine, which contributes to allergic symptoms. Piriton CS Syrup should be taken as prescribed by a doctor, either with or without food. Continuous use is important, and stopping treatment early may cause symptoms to return. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking as some may interact with this medicine.
