Here is the detailed breakdown of its uses and standard dosages:1. What is X-COUGH used for?This medication is strictly used for the relief of a dry cough (a non-productive cough with no phlegm or mucus).It works by acting on the cough center in the brain to decrease the urge to cough, providing a soothing effect on the throat.Important Note: It should not be used for a wet, productive cough (cough with phlegm), as suppressing a wet cough can trap mucus in the lungs and worsen your condition.2.
