It has the effects of dispersing cold to promote lung qi, clearing heat to resolve phlegm, stopping cough, and calming asthma.
Clinically, it is mainly used for treating cough with exterior cold and interior heat syndrome (i.e., exterior cold and interior heat symptoms exist simultaneously, mostly caused by external pathogens transforming into heat internally while exterior cold remains unresolved, or due to pre-existing internal heat coupled with exposure to cold pathogens). Common symptoms of cough with exterior cold and interior heat syndrome include cough, expectoration, wheezing, rales in the chest, aversion to cold and fever, body pain, thirst, etc.
Maxin Cough Syrup can also be used for patients with acute bronchitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis who exhibit the above symptoms. After taking the medication, individual patients may experience adverse reactions such as dry mouth and constipation. Due to the presence of Papaver somniferum shell in the medication, athletes should use it with caution. For patients with abnormal liver function, they should pay attention to follow-up examinations after taking the medication. During medication, the diet should be light, avoiding spicy, greasy, and cold food, as well as smoking and drinking alcohol. When using it in children, the dosage should be reduced as appropriate or taken under the guidance of a physician. When using this medication in conjunction with other medications, drug interactions may occur. If other medications are needed, consult a physician for confirmation. If symptoms do not improve during medication, it may indicate that the medication is not suitable for the condition, and it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
