Read the full description

Bromhexine, Dextromethorphan HBr, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Guaifenesin and Menthol Syrup is a combination cough and cold medicine formulated to relieve cough, loosen respiratory mucus and soothe throat irritation.

Bromhexine helps thin thick mucus, while guaifenesin helps loosen secretions so they can be cleared more easily. Dextromethorphan acts as a cough suppressant, and chlorpheniramine helps relieve allergy-related symptoms such as a runny nose and sneezing. Menthol provides a cooling sensation that may soothe minor throat irritation.

Use this medicine according to the product label and a healthcare professional's advice.

FAQs

Q1. What is this cough syrup used for?

It is used for temporary relief of cough, mucus-related congestion, throat irritation and allergy-related symptoms, depending on the patient’s condition.

Dextromethorphan helps suppress dry, irritating cough. However, the suitability of this combination depends on the type of cough and the patient’s symptoms.

Bromhexine and guaifenesin help loosen mucus. Because the formulation also contains a cough suppressant, consult a doctor to determine whether it is suitable for a cough producing substantial phlegm.
