Tedykoff LX 1.5mg/5ml/1.5mg/5ml Linctus is a combination of two medicines: Promethazine and Pholcodine, which together relieve dry cough. Promethazine is an antiallergic. It blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) which is responsible to trigger cough due to allergy. Pholcodine is a cough suppressant. It suppresses cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain.
