What is the primary function of anti-tussives?

Treat cancer
Decrease eye fluid production
Control coughing
Suppress hunger

The correct answer is: Control coughing

The primary function of anti-tussives is to control coughing. These medications work by acting on the cough center in the brain to suppress the urge to cough. This can be beneficial in situations where coughing is non-productive and persistent, providing relief to individuals with conditions such as the common cold, bronchitis, or allergies. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the intended purpose of anti-tussive medications.
