Oxeladine is a medication used to treat dry, non-productive cough. It belongs to the class of antitussives and works by inhibiting the cough reflex at the central level without affecting respiratory activity. It is indicated for cases of irritating cough caused by respiratory conditions such as pharyngitis, laryngitis, or bronchitis.

Oxeladine is well-tolerated and does not cause dependency, making it a safe alternative to other antitussives containing opioids. It is available in syrup or tablet form, and the dosage should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider or according to the package insert.

Side effects are rare but may include nausea, drowsiness, or allergic reactions. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and to avoid long-term use without medical advice. Oxeladine is not indicated for productive cough, as it may hinder the elimination of mucus.
