Overview

A combination cough syrup that helps relieve cough, loosen mucus, reduce the urge to cough and alleviate allergy-related symptoms such as a runny nose and sneezing. Menthol provides a soothing, cooling effect on the throat.

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.

 

Q3. Can it be used for wet cough?

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.

Yes. Chlorpheniramine can cause drowsiness, and dizziness may also occur.

 

Q5. Can children take this syrup?

The appropriate age and dose depend on the specific product label and medical advice. Do not give it to young children without professional guidance.

 

Q6. Can it be taken with other cold medicines?

Not without checking the ingredients with a doctor or pharmacist, because duplicate ingredients may cause an overdose.

The onset and duration of relief vary with the individual and formulation. Follow the product instructions and seek advice if symptoms persist.
