Introduction: Xepa Cough-En Linctus – Trusted Relief for Dry & Irritating Coughs
Xepa Cough-En Linctus is a pharmacist-formulated, syrup-based cough medicine designed to relieve dry, non-productive coughs caused by throat irritation, colds, allergies, or environmental pollutants. Manufactured by Xepa-Soul Pattinson, a reputable Malaysian pharmaceutical company, it contains diphenhydramine hydrochloride and ammonium chloride. Diphenhydramine suppresses the cough reflex and reduces throat irritation, while ammonium chloride helps loosen phlegm for easier airway clearance.
This combination reduces persistent coughing, supports easier breathing, and promotes better rest, particularly at night. Fast-acting and gentle on the stomach, it is generally well-tolerated, though mild drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, or dizziness may occur. DoctorOnCall International provides authentic, pharmacy-grade Xepa Cough-En Linctus, dispensed by licensed pharmacists from MOH-approved facilities in Malaysia.
General Indications – Why Use Xepa Cough-En Linctus?
Xepa Cough-En Linctus is indicated for managing dry, irritating coughs that do not produce mucus. Common causes include upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, exposure to dust or smoke, and post-nasal drip. Its sedative and expectorant effects help reduce coughing while supporting natural mucus clearance, making it particularly useful at bedtime.
It is widely recommended by healthcare professionals in Southeast Asia and is trusted internationally for safe, reliable relief. Customers from the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa rely on DoctorOnCall International for genuine medications with transparent, licensed operations and multilingual pharmacist support.
How to Take Xepa Cough-En Linctus – General Usage Guidance
Take Xepa Cough-En Linctus exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to label instructions. Use the measuring cup provided. It can be taken with or without food, though after meals may reduce stomach discomfort. Maintain consistency—take doses at the same time each day, particularly before bedtime if coughing worsens.
Shake the bottle gently before use, and close the cap securely. Avoid driving or operating machinery soon after dosing due to drowsiness. Stay hydrated to help thin mucus. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist beyond 5–7 days. Children should take only pediatric doses under medical supervision and never exceed recommended amounts.

Adult doses typically range from 5 mL to 10 mL (1–2 teaspoons) orally, 3–4 times daily. Pediatric dosing varies by age and weight and must follow a doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions. Children under six years require medical consultation.
Do not exceed the maximum daily dose. Prolonged unsupervised use may mask underlying conditions. Missed doses should be taken as soon as possible unless near the next scheduled dose—never double up.
