Ambroxol 15 mg + Terbutaline 1.25 mg + Guaiphenesin 50 mg
Ambroxol :
Ambroxol is kind of strong expectorant, clinically proven active mucolytic agent. The medicine helps to
remove sticky phlegm from the respiratory tract easily and quickly by enhancing the bronchial secretions that
loosen congested phlegm. It also releases and strengthens tiny striking hairs inside the windpipe and
bronchial tubes, which is referred to as the cilia , which can then expel the abnormal phlegm with their
conveyor-belt like action. Ambroxol increases the body’s production of surfactant which helps to overcome
infection in the bronchi.
Terbutaline:
Terbutaline is a 132-adrenergic receptor agonist, used as a fast-acting bronchodilator
Guaifenesin:
Guaifenesin is an expectorant drug used to assist the bringing up (“expectoration”) of phlegm from the
airways in acute respiratory tract infections.
