Dry cough: Buy your drugs at a pharmacy to treat dry coughs

Dry cough is an irritating cough that does not come with sputum and can have many causes. Several solutions can treat a dry cough in adults ... Cough suppressants are generally in the form of syrup and sometimes in the form of tablets or chewing paste. They are indicated in the event of irritative and dry cough. By acting on the cough control center located in the bulb of the brain, they abolish the cough reflex. So if they are misused, especially in the event of a fatty cough, they can be harmful and lead to bronchial congestion. The difficulty is to identify the antitussive drug (which generally includes several active ingredients).

There are also natural cough remedies like essential oil for dry cough, and homeopathy for cough. 

It is therefore recommended:

  • To read the composition on the instructions for use;
  • Avoid a drug combining active cough and bronchial fluidifying ingredients (which, on the contrary, promote coughing) and seek the advice of your pharmacist if necessary.

Many diseases can trigger a cough: flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, respiratory allergy, heart problems in the elderly, etc.

Coughs can be grouped into two families: dry coughs , without phlegm production, and fatty coughs , with phlegm production. These are useful coughs because they clear the airways.

When the cough is heavy, it can cause throat irritation and insomnia when it is nocturnal. A cough that occurs with a common infection usually does not cause other complications. Those that can occur are not related to the cough itself but to its cause and vary from case to case.

What is an irritating cough?

An irritant cough is a dry cough caused by irritation of the respiratory tract: the more you cough, the more the irritation increases, and the more you cough again.

How to treat dry cough with drugs in the pharmacy?

Medicines to relieve a dry cough are so-called cough suppressants. They decrease the cough reflex by acting on its centers located in the brain. No cough medicine of this type should be used for more than a few days without medical advice. In the event of a fatty cough, syrups containing bronchial thinners can be used. They are intended to reduce the viscosity of secretions and to facilitate their expectoration. Their use is rarely essential.

  • Cough suppressants for dry coughs

Cough suppressants fall into several categories: opioid cough suppressants, antihistamine cough suppressants, and non-opioid and non-antihistamine cough suppressants. Among these drugs, there are some which combine the antitussive substance with a bronchial thinner. This association is however not logical.

  • Opioid cough suppressants

Opioid cough suppressants used in adults may contain the following substances: codeine, dextrometorphan, ethylmorphine (or codethylin), noscapine, pholcodine . They should not be used in case of respiratory failure or cough associated with asthma. Their main side effects are constipation, nausea, dizziness and drowsiness which can be bothersome when driving a car or using machines. Dextrometorphan does not cause respiratory depression at usual doses.

  • Antihistamine cough suppressants

Antitussives antihistamines are rather recommended in case of dry and irritating cough occurring at night, because of their sedative effect. They have so-called atropine effects (dry mouth, constipation, blockage of urine, visual disturbances) which explain certain contraindications (angle-closure glaucoma, prostate adenoma). They should be used with caution in machine users due to the risk of drowsiness.
