Description
Product Description: Toseina 2 mg/ml Oral Solution
Toseina is an oral solution formulated to alleviate non-productive (dry) coughs associated with upper respiratory tract infections. Each milliliter contains 2 mg of codeine phosphate hemihydrate, an opioid that suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the central nervous system.
Key Features:
- Effective Cough Suppression: Codeine phosphate acts on the medullary cough center to reduce the urge to cough, providing relief from persistent dry coughs.
- Analgesic Properties: Beyond cough suppression, codeine offers mild pain-relieving effects, making it beneficial for soothing throat discomfort associated with coughing.
Dosage and Administration:
- Adults: The recommended dose is one 5 ml spoonful, which may be repeated every four hours as needed, not exceeding four doses in 24 hours.
- Elderly: Use with caution; a reduced dose may be recommended by a healthcare professional.
- Children: Codeine should not be used for the treatment of children under 18 years of age.
Precautions:
- Contraindications: Not suitable for individuals with respiratory depression, acute asthma attacks, or known hypersensitivity to codeine.
- Potential for Dependence: Prolonged use may lead to tolerance and dependence; use only as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Side Effects: Possible side effects include constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Packaging:
- Available in 250 ml bottles, accompanied by a measuring cup for accurate dosing.
Storage:

- Keep out of reach of children.
Note: Toseina is a prescription medication and should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Misuse of codeine-containing products can lead to serious health risks, including addiction and respiratory depression.
