Linctus is a type of liquid dosage in syrup form intended for oral administration.
It is commonly used to treat conditions such as cough and sore throat.
Linctus usually contains an active ingredient such as codeine or dextromethorphan and is formulated with a sweet syrup base to improve palatability.
The standard dose of linctus is one to two teaspoons (5-10 mL) taken orally, as directed by a healthcare provider.
The frequency of administration depends on the specific medication and condition being treated.
It is important to carefully follow dosing instructions and not exceed the recommended dose, as overuse of cough and cold medications can lead to serious side effects.
